About Schoolreaders
One in four children in England leave primary school unable to read at the expected level — a barrier that shadows their education, confidence, and life chances. Schoolreaders was founded in 2013 to change this.
The Charity delivers weekly one-to-one reading support to primary school children who need it most, powered by a nationwide network of trained volunteers. This community-driven model delivers exceptional impact at minimal cost. It is incredibly simple and everyone wins – the children benefit from consistent, regular additional reading support, schools benefit from trained volunteers spending one-to-one time with children, and volunteers benefit from an increased sense of purpose and wellbeing.
Demand is soaring. In just 13 years, Schoolreaders has become England’s largest in-school reading support charity. Today, almost 40,000 children receive one-to-one reading support each week, and the charity is on track to deliver more than 1.5 million in-person reading sessions in 2026 — the National Year of Reading.
Support is targeted where it matters most: 46% of participating children are eligible for Pupil Premium, and over half of partner schools serve disadvantaged communities. Independent evaluation with the Institute for Research in Education shows powerful results: across three terms, every single child improved their reading age beyond expected progress.
Schoolreaders is proving what’s possible when communities mobilise around children’s futures.
The organisation is run by a small team in Bedford, achieving high staff-to-volunteer leverage and exceptional cost-effectiveness. Its supporters include patrons Gyles Brandreth and Kate Adie, and it is governed by a Board of Trustees and an executive team. Schoolreaders has been praised for its adaptability and innovative use of digital channels in volunteer recruitment and fundraising, and for the strength, expertise, and depth of its Board, whose members typically serve multiple terms, reflecting a strong sense of commitment and continuity. This collective leadership and innovation continue to position Schoolreaders as a vital partner in tackling the literacy gap at scale.
Role specification
As a Trustee at Schoolreaders, they will play a key role, helping to shape the overall direction and vision.
The key duties of Trustees are to:
Person specification
Schoolreaders is seeking to strengthen its Board with new Trustees who bring expertise across two priority areas: Education and Communications / PR. While prior governance experience is welcome, the organisation is equally open to applications from those seeking their first non-executive appointment.
Education
The Board welcomes applications from those with current experience as a primary school practitioner, ideally within the state sector. The capacity to deliver strategic direction is essential. Insight into challenges linked to deprivation and the use of educational technology would be particularly valuable in shaping policy, practice and partnership development. A background in safeguarding would also be highly valued. Candidates may have held leadership roles such as Head of Department, Assistant Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher, Headteacher, Chief Executive, or Director of Education. Appointees will also join the Education Safeguarding Consultation Group (meets online three times per year).
Communications / PR
The Board is seeking a Trustee with significant experience in communications, brand development, and / or marketing, and a strong understanding of digital and social media strategy. Candidates may come from any sector, provided they bring sound judgement, strong strategic thinking, and the ability to operate credibly across these areas. Experience in stakeholder engagement and influencing at a senior level will be valuable.
This Trustee will bring valuable insight as Schoolreaders strengthens its in-house communications and marketing capability and will help to shape the development of a longer-term strategy to raise the organisation’s profile and extend its reach. They will also support the development of a more integrated and cohesive approach, contributing to thinking on brand strategy, marketing and communications priorities, audience engagement, and external profile, as well as offering insight across digital, social, and traditional channels.
Above all, successful candidates will be motivated by the mission of Schoolreaders and committed to supporting children’s literacy and life chances.
Location
Board meetings are primarily held virtually, with one in-person board meeting and one strategy day held annually (typically in Bedford). Trustees from all regions of the UK are encouraged to apply.
Diversity
Schoolreaders welcomes applications from everyone regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, belief or disability. All appointments will be made on merit, following a fair and transparent process. In line with the Equality Act 2010, however, the organisation may employ positive action where candidates from underrepresented groups can demonstrate their ability to perform the role equally well.
Terms of appointment
This is a voluntary role; however, reasonable pre-agreed travel expenses will be reimbursed. Trustees are asked to commit to:
The initial appointment is for a three-year term, which may be renewed at the Board’s discretion.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

The Brand, Communications and Creative Trustee will participate in all areas of the charity’s governance with a special interest in brand strategy, content, communications and creative to support with the Board’s understanding and interpretation.
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the charity, developing CLAPA’s aims, objectives and goals in accordance with the governing document, legal and regulatory guidelines.

Become the First Head of the Volunteer Corps of the Principality of Lys
A Call to Honour. A Call to Creativity. A Call to History.
For twelve years, the Principality of Lys has quietly prepared its foundations — cultural, philosophical, and civic — for a moment that is now approaching. In 2027, we begin our next chapter: public events, international outreach, transparent nation‑building, and the first steps toward settling our 2.7 square miles of claimed European land.
But before that chapter can be written, one role must be filled. A role for someone with courage, imagination, and a sense of destiny.
We Are Seeking a Beacon of Honour and Chivalry
Head of the Volunteer Corps
A volunteer role unlike any other.
This is not a desk job. This is not a title for vanity. This is a foundational role — one that will shape the future of an emerging nation.
You will be the architect of our international volunteer programme, building pathways for citizens and supporters across the world to contribute:
Remotely
In hybrid roles
In person on the ground in Europe
You will help design the systems, culture, and spirit that future generations of Lysians will inherit.
Why This Role Matters
Micronations come and go. But the ones that endure — the ones that become legends — are built by people who step forward when the world least expects it.
The Principality of Lys is entering a new era. We have the land. We have the vision. We have the cultural foundations.
Now we need you — someone who can rally others, inspire service, and help weave the first threads of a living, breathing community.
Your leadership will help us:
Grow faster
Grow stronger
Grow with purpose
Grow with honour
You will be the spark that ignites a movement.
What You Will Do
As Head of the Volunteer Corps, you will:
Build and lead our volunteer programme from the ground up
Recruit, train, and support volunteers across the world
Shape the culture of service and civic duty within Lys
Coordinate remote, hybrid and in‑person opportunities
Help prepare for our 2027 public expansion
Serve as a guardian of our values: honour, chivalry, creativity, and community
This is a role for someone who wants to leave a mark, not just fill a position.
Who You Are
You don’t need formal qualifications. You don’t need decades of experience.
You need:
A sense of honour
A desire to build something meaningful
A creative mind
A steady hand
A belief in community
And the courage to step into a role no one has ever held before
If you’ve ever wanted to help shape a nation — truly shape it — this is your moment.
This Is Your Invitation
History remembers the first. Will it remember you?
Offering accessible educational programmes, exhibitions, publications, & artistic opportunities that increase public understanding of Renaissance arts
