Reading Museum has provided award-winning opportunities for learning, inspiration and enjoyment since 1883. The Museum champions Reading’s unique identity, playing a leading part in Reading’s transformation as a cultural community and a place of culture.

They are currently seeking Rhymetime Volunteers at the Reading Museum. Rhymetime happens every Wednesday from 9.45am to 11.30am, you will become part of the team to help ensure the smooth running of sessions by: meeting and greeting families, setting up and tidying away activities, and more.

Rhymetime is a popular activity for children and their caregivers, sessions provide an amazing opportunity for children to learn popular childhood songs and stories with their caregivers. Volunteers must be enthusiastic and enjoy a bit of singing.

Assisting Berkshire Children to Read (ABC to Read) is an award-winning charity that supports children struggling to read by finding, training and supporting volunteers to work with them in primary schools around Berkshire.

They are looking for caring volunteers to become reading helpers, boosting students’ confidence and helping them directly in one-to-one sessions outside of the classroom environment to give students the opportunity to catch up.

They recruit, train and support community volunteers who ideally dedicate two sessions per week (although one session a week will also be considered), during term time only, for at least a year, reading, chatting and playing games.

ABC to Read also has an employee volunteering scheme and welcomes approaches from companies.

Since 1971, No5 offers free, confidential counselling and mental health support for young people aged 11-25 who live, work or study in the RG postcode area.

They are looking for volunteer receptionists to join their team in its office in central Reading.

In this role, you will support our lead receptionist, clinical team and counsellors in their work, and you’ll be the first point of contact for young people and their parents as they arrive for the appointments.

You need to be passionate about mental health and have an understanding of the value of counselling, and early intervention. This is a good opportunity to gain experience working in the field of mental health and in the charity sector with young people.

Time commitment for volunteers: between 3.30 pm and 9pm on either a Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday.

Take a look at our Reading Volunteer Connect platform for details of these and many more opportunities to volunteer via our website, www.rgneeds.me. Want to get in touch? Drop us an email at volunteering@rva.org.uk or call 0118 937 2273.
