ABC to Read was founded in 2004, they help to transform the lives of children who are struggling to read at primary schools across Berkshire.

Its volunteer reading mentors work one-to-one with them to build their confidence and reading skills.

The charity is looking for Volunteer Ambassadors to help them engage with more volunteers to continue delivering their high-quality service.

The role of an ambassador is to help raise awareness by talking about its work and encouraging others to get involved and volunteer with ABC to Read too.

To be a Volunteer Ambassador you will need to be confident and happy to present and talk about ABC to Read, and be connected within your community.

Tilehurst Junior Youth Club runs on Friday evenings from 7pm- 9.30pm at the Tilehurst Youth and Community Centre which is situated above the Co-op at the Tilehurst Triangle.
