Time for Children is a programme being run in Greater
Manchester, Lancashire and the West Midlands. TimeBank has partnered
with The National Literacy Association (NLA), The Who Cares? Trust
(WCT) and Volunteer Reading Help (VRH) to encourage and support children
in public care in their reading and learning.
- Around 60,000 children and young people in England are separated
from their families and living in residential or foster care.
In 98% of cases, children are in care through no fault of their
own.
- Through the Time for Children programme you can change the
course of a child’s life. As a volunteer you will be trained
to encourage and support children in public care in their reading
and learning
- Your time will help children in care improve their reading
and encourage self-esteem
Initial training will take 6-8 hours. You are asked to give a minimum
of two one-hour sessions a week and commit for a year.

People think that if you are in care you are different
from everybody else. That is wrong. We just need to be given
the same opportunities and chances as everyone else. |
