Are you passionate about inspiring children to discover a love of reading? Do you enjoy being part of something exciting and meaningful? 📚 Following a successful pilot in 2024/25, Chapter One is expanding its KS2 Book Club programme—and we’re looking for two enthusiastic Book Club Facilitators to help us grow this exciting initiative in London (E1 & E13) and Doncaster (DN6)! You’ll lead in-person weekly book club sessions with small groups of Year 4 and 5 pupils in two local primary schools (within one of the locations above). Working closely with our Reading Engagement Lead, you’ll support session planning and delivery, engage in our training programme, and contribute to the ongoing evaluation of the pilot. 📅 Closing date: 29 August 2025 ✏️ Interviews: Week commencing 1 September 2025 This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with an interest in reading for pleasure, children’s literacy, or education programme delivery, and who is excited about shaping a model with the potential to scale nationally across Chapter One schools. 🚀 To apply for the role, please submit a covering letter and CV to Stephanie Lockwood at stephanie.lockwood@chapterone.org (fb)

Today is Social Media Giving Day! Could you help us to raise £5,000 this summer to gift the joy of reading so children can thrive? ✨ As our 2024-25 reading year officially ends, the numbers are extraordinary. Our community of online reading volunteers collectively delivered 24,410 hours of reading support (that's 2.8 years!) to 3,155 children across the UK. But we want to reach more children! As the national conversation focuses on literacy, with 2026 now designated as the National Year of Reading - we can help even more children discover that reading changes everything: 💜 £10 funds activity books for children over the summer holidays 💜 £25 contributes to IT equipment for the next cohort of children 💜 £60 gives a noise-cancelling headset for clearer communication Donate to our Summer Appeal: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/chapteronesummerappeal2025 Not able to donate? Please do share this post with your networks! Together, we can help even more children transform their futures with the power of reading. #SocialMediaGivingDay (fb)
