Volunteer
Reader Leader– North Wales 'Better with a Book' Project
Building on The Reader's previous north Wales project
‘Make Friends with a Book’ we are setting up new Shared Reading groups across 3
counties of north Wales and looking for volunteers in Gwynedd.
Purpose: To enable people to benefit from a quality
Shared Reading experience which seeks to improve wellbeing, build community and
lessen social isolation.
Paired with another volunteer Reader Leader, you will be
responsible for delivering a Shared Reading group on a weekly basis.
Benefits include:
• An
opportunity to become part of the Shared Reading community and meeting new
people
• Enabling
other people to benefit from Shared Reading
• Training
that will enable you to deliver Shared Reading
You will be required to take part in our ‘Read to Lead’
training programme and attend regular volunteer meetings. We ask you to make a
regular, weekly commitment to prepare for and lead a Shared Reading group,
working with the supervision and support of peers and staff from The Reader.
