This role presents a wonderful opportunity to get out and about in the community, arranging suitable reading venues for your group. Generally, our preferred venues are libraries or similar settings that can provide an element of confidentiality, so that Readers aren’t intimidated by having to return to classroom-like settings, but have at least one other person in the building during reading sessions. You will also attend our management team meetings which occur every couple of months.
