ARCh – Assisted Reading for Children

ARCh is an Oxfordshire charity who organise reading volunteers going into local primary schools to help children with their reading and to hopefully inspire them to enjoy reading and to do so for pleasure.  Following the pandemic there is even more need for our service.  We are in desperate need of more reading helpers to go into Banbury primary schools.  Tel: 01869 320380 http://www.archoxfordshire.org.uk/
