I am currently awaiting receipt of another CRB clearance in order to carry out voluntary work with the Pooh Bear Reading Assistance Society in Hull. Having completed the training course last month, I am now eagerly waiting for the clearance and to be assigned to a school. The Pooh Bear Reading Assistance Society was founded 30 years ago and is a voluntary organisation that provides one-to-one reading support to children who find reading difficult. Working in schools, family homes and other settings, the volunteers aim to build confidence and develop reading skills through sharing and enjoying books together.
Aitch has decided to take up more voluntary work in order to combine two of her passions – her love of reading and the skill she has acquired of teaching children via her voluntary work at Bilton Amateur Dramatic Society.
Pooh Bear Reading Assistance Society is a registered charity and their website address is:

I will report again once I have been assigned to a school and worked with the children.
