Hello.
Today I launched the initial funding drive for a new community
literacy project based at the Govanhill Baths in Glasgow.
Govanhill Books 4 Kids will be a weekly reading club for children from
disadvantaged, unstable backgrounds, who are struggling with literacy
skills and confidence in school.
Govanhill Books 4 Kids will be providing books that the children will
keep, re-read and share, thus building up mini-libraries of good books
at home where they can retreat when home life gets too stressful.
The club initially plans to meet once a week for 1 hour at a beautiful
Victorian baths in the heart of Govanhill, where children will be given
a new book each week and given a warm, friendly environment in
which to discuss plots and characters, make new friends and build
confidence outside of school and home pressures.
I will also offer informal 1-2-1 reading support if needed. I hold an Enhanced
Disclosure. I'm hoping to launch the club in October, but this
really depends on funding.
The reason I am contacting you is to ask if you could look at my crowd-
funding page at www.bloomvc.com/project/Govanhill-Books-for-Kids-Club. Please please share this link with as many people as you can, as
every penny counts.
Please do contact me to learn more about the project and myself.
Kindest regards
