Charity READ EASY BARNET Read Easy UK is the only national organisation in the country which provides a volunteer-led reading coaching programme for adults. The support we provide is: • Free - our Reading Coaches and Management Teams volunteer their time, and resources and training are funded by kind donations • Confidential - only a few people in each group know the identity of our Readers, and all coaching takes place in a private space within a public place so that people feel encouraged to come forward and ask for help • One-to-one - many Readers have had a poor experience in a school classroom or group setting, so our personal approach allows Readers to develop a supportive and trusting bond with their dedicated Coach. Each Read Easy group is set up and managed by affiliated groups of local volunteers with the support of Read Easy UK. Each group is legally and financially independent (and responsible for their own local fundraising), while required to work within Read Easy's robust structure, policies and procedures. Read Easy UK provides oversight, resources, training and advice to help volunteers establish effective and sustainable Read Easy groups in their area. Our support for groups means they can replicate a successful tried-and-tested model in their community and deliver a high-quality reading coaching service.
