We are currently recruiting volunteers across Dorset. If you love books, enjoy working with children and can spare just two hours a week during term time, you can make a lasting impact on a child's education and confidence.

📚 It's that time of year again!
We've sent out over 300 reading certificates to the children we've had the pleasure of working with this year. Each certificate lists all the books they've shared with their Reading Partner—a wonderful record of their reading journey and a fantastic achievement.
A huge well done to every child, and a sincere thank you to our amazing Reading Partners and the schools who have supported them. Together, you've helped make reading fun, rewarding and inspiring.🌟 
🌟Celebrating three wonderful reading partners, Rowan, Berys, and Dee, who have collectively given an incredible 26 years of volunteering service to DRP!🌟
As a token of our appreciation we were delighted to present each of them with a complimentary hotel break, generously provided by the wonderful charity Room to Reward.
Thank you, Rowan, Berys, and Dee, for everything you do. Your time, enthusiasm, and kindness make a real difference to the children you support, and we are so grateful to have you as part of the DRP team. 💙
