PERRY TAKES THE LONG ROAD TO RAISE FUNDS FOR CHARITY

in February, I am moving on to the plus and now aim to complete at least another 500.”

Not only has Perry now put his 1,000 mile target behind him, but in the process, he has raised over £1,000 for the benefit of a range of voluntary trips, he is looking for plenty of sponsorship donations.

Any donations, whatever the amount, are very welcome and, in these difficult times, appreciated so thank you for any support you can readers in the Reading Partners Scheme which has been running successfully with numerous local schools since 1999, improving children’s reading skills.

This can be an extremely rewarding experience for volunteer readers and of course the child. A good reading ability enables the child to study a wide variety of subjects, to use a computer and to write with imagination and will be an invaluable help for their future wellbeing in life.

As well as giving this valuable help and support to youngsters, teachers are also very appreciative of the help they receive and a Reading Partner always receives a friendly welcome from them, as well of course as the children.

“The Reading Partner has complete choice as to how often they attend school.

“Do please make contact, I promise you will love the experience and you will be giving much needed help to local children.”
