Leicestershire Shared Reading: Call for Volunteers

Event type: Ongoing
Date: 18th June 2025

We're recruiting volunteers:

Are you interested in helping to connect individuals, rebuild social bonds and make people feel better? We are on a mission to recruit people to our Steering Group with skills in one or more of these areas:

  • marketing,
  • website and social media management,
  • fundraising, and
  • partnership working.

If you like working with others to get things done, and if you'd love to get involved with a community project, maybe you can help us?

Our voluntary organisation, Leicestershire Shared Reading, needs new Steering Group members who act as our support team, carrying out a host of behind-the-scenes tasks that enable our team of Reader Leaders to run their groups, both in county libraries and on Zoom. Currently, we are delivering the joys of shared reading to between 50 and 60 people every week – and we’d like to reach more people.

If you think that you, or anyone you know, would be a good fit for any of these roles, take a look at our website here https://www.leicestershiresharedreading.org and follow the links to find the full story - or send us an email, and we can forward you the details. We'd be happy to have an informal chat, too - feel free to get in touch!
