Description

On Fridays, during academic term time, we welcome a group of primary aged children after school to help them with their homework. We are seeking new volunteers to join our friendly team to support the children in their learning. You will sit on a table with 1-2 children and support the children with their school work which they bring with them, mostly maths and English and some reading. We ask volunteers to attend on a weekly basis.  Most of all now, in post lockdowns, children from migrant backgrounds, need your support more than ever.

We don't have an application deadline but we will be recruiting until the end of the Spring Term or April 2023
