Careers at Bookmark Reading Charity
7.1 million adults in England struggle to read and face challenges every day – at home, on the move, in the workplace, and with their friends and families.
We want to stop this trend. We want every child to read.
Our six-week reading programme involves two 30-minute sessions each week with a child who needs extra support with their reading.
In 2022/23, Bookmark reached 2,267 children and delivered 40,100 one-to-one, volunteer-led reading sessions. We have worked hard to scale our reach and deepen our impact to support more children.
