Official North East (South) branch launch event

Event date: 
7 February, 2012 - 11:00

Last year almost 1 in 5 children in the North East left primary school unable to read to the required standard. National children’s charity Volunteer Reading Help has launched in Durham its first new branch in almost ten years to help address this issue. The charity is already supporting 28 local children who are struggling with their reading from a number of local schools, including Woodhouse Primary School in Bishop Auckland, and aims to support 60 children by the end of the school year.
