Background
Chapter One is a dynamic, growing charity with a vision of a world in which all children have the literacy skills needed to thrive.

We work in eleven areas/regions of the UK and will support 3000 children in 2023-24.
Our unique Online Reading Volunteer programme pairs struggling five to seven-year old (KS1) readers with reading support volunteers who are working professionals. The volunteer ask is very focused: readers commit 30 minutes a week to read with a child using a bespoke digital platform for an entire academic year.

From a school perspective, online reading volunteers provide direct, meaningful literacy support for up to 10 pupils per class.
