Appeal for reading volunteers A PROJECT in which retired people go into schools to support children with reading is looking for more volunteers in Downend, Emersons Green and Staple Hill. The Retired and Senior Volunteer Programme (RSVP) helps pupils become fluent and confident readers and also make reading fun. The organisation, which is part of the national charity Volunteering Matters and specialises in volunteering for those aged 50 plus, is already working in South Gloucestershire, including at Blackhorse Primary in Emersons Green, and would like to put volunteers into more schools. It is also active in schools in Bristol, Bath and North Somerset, To find out more look at www. rsvp-west.org.uk , contact joan. whitehead@rsvp-west.org.uk or phone 01225 314860.
More than 6,000 children took part in the Summer Reading Challenge in South Gloucestershire Libraries. Emersons Green Councillor Rachael Hunt, the vice chair of the council, said the Animal Agents scheme had been a great success.
Cllr Hunt said: “Children’s reading can often dip during the long school holidays, but taking part in the Summer Reading Challenge helps them to develop their reading skills and confidence, so they return to school ready to learn." ADVERTISEMENT
