Arts at Home brings conversations about art to people as a tool to tackle loneliness and isolation. Volunteers choose artworks in advance of each session to present to the residents, and though a small amount of preparation is required, prior knowledge of art history is not. Instead, the sessions are participatory and informal, with a focus on communication and connection. Often an artwork will spark conversation about something else entirely, with residents and volunteers reminiscing about past experiences, sharing stories and finding common ground!

We partner with local organisations and communities to deliver our locally rooted programmes, using evidence to drive learning and the refinement and scale up of programmes to create maximum impact for the most children at the lowest cost.

"Before I never used to open a book because I thought I couldn’t read but now I can. I used to think it was boring reading before but now I don't." - from a learner working with an ALT Reading Coach
The Adult Literacy Trust (ALT) wants to help adult learners break the cycle of poor literacy by offering them personalised reading support.
We offer one-to-one literacy support as a complement to formal teaching in education settings. We are dedicated to ensuring that adults who wish to improve their literacy skills - and to increase their life chances - receive the help they need to become confident readers.
Would you like to support an adult learner to become a confident reader? We are looking for volunteers to become trained Reading Coaches and work with adult learners on a one-to-one (or sometimes one-to-two) basis.
What it looks like in practice:
- Meeting a learner weekly, on-site at their college campus, typically before or after their formal classes for about an hour a week
- Building a constructive relationship with a learner
- Helping to check the learner’s understanding, build their confidence in reading, and provide support where needed
- Helping the learner practice skills they’re learning in the classroom and encourage confidence and resilience so that they persist with their studies
Where and when:
We have opportunities across London and we'll work around your schedule.
ALT is partnered with a range of colleges across London as we assign you to a location that works for you. All our locations are listed on our website.
The timings are flexible - ALT match you to a learner based on your respective availability. Typically, most ALT sessions take place sometime between 10am-6pm, Monday to Friday.
Personal Specification:
No prior teaching experience or qualification is needed. We provide full training so that volunteers are confident to start their sessions. However, volunteers must:
- Be at least 18
- Be able to speak and write English well enough to communicate clearly.
- Have a minimum education of a secondary school level or equivalent (i.e. hold a GCSE or equivalent, in any subject).
- Be willing to undergo a DBS check (provided by ALT)
- Have the right to volunteer in the UK
About us:
The Adult Literacy Trust provides adults with one-to-one support to improve their reading skills and confidence, as a complement to formal education provision, ensuring that individuals who wish to improve their literacy skills receive the help they need to become successful readers, and to increase their life chances.
Delivered through a network of specially trained volunteer Reading Coaches, our charity works closely with learning providers - such as Further Education Colleges and Institutes for Adult Learning - to assist people from some of the most disadvantaged communities who could benefit from enhanced support, strengthening learners’ outcomes from their participation in adult community education.
