Student volunteers are key to the success of the charity

Aim: To collect thousands of books of ALL sizes, shapes and subjects on each and every UK university campus!

• Fundraisers – organise events to raise funds for READ international project funds
• General Volunteers – To be part of a team and help with various activities of the project

Interested?? Get in touch now! It's going to be a whole lot of fun.
READ will provide training, support and resources and you can also get extra support from your Volunteer Support Officer at UWE
