[Insert your company name] proudly supports @Chapter One UK, an online reading programme that pairs corporate volunteers with 5-8 year-old children facing disadvantage. The programme develops fundamental reading skills and inspires a love for reading from an early age, helping build confidence in children who might otherwise slip through the cracks.

Check out our fantastic team members who are online reading volunteers for our charity partner @Chapter One UK, which transforms children's futures with one-to-one reading support at the time when they need it the most. Members of our team ‘meet’ online with a child for 30 minutes a week, during the school day. They read stories and play word games that inspire a love for reading from an early age, helping build confidence in children who might otherwise slip through the cracks.

✏️ Suggested LinkedIn posts for our individual online reading volunteers

In addition to using your company social media channels to showcase our partnership, we would love you to encourage your employees who are volunteering for Chapter One to actively promote their involvement with the programme on their personal social media networks. They could post about the excitement of watching their student’s confidence soar, or reflect on how they themselves are benefiting from the experience. Many volunteers tell us that reading with Chapter One gives them 30 minutes when they can switch off from the pressures of the working day and enjoy a meaningful 1:1 human connection.

If they are able to record short video testimonials or take selfies of themselves during a reading session then even better!

This school year, through @Chapter One UK, a number of my colleagues and I are volunteering online for 30 minutes a week to help children facing disadvantage improve their reading skills. I can’t wait to get started!

I have done a lot of reading in my career, but rarely has it been as rewarding as the first online session with my 7 year old reading partner today. Through @Chapter One UK, a number of my colleagues and I are volunteering online for 30 minutes a week to help children facing disadvantage improve their reading skills. I go back to my report writing and business planning with a happier heart. #ItAllStartsWithLiteracy #employeevolunteering #onlinevolunteering #corporatepartnerships #employeewellbeing

After a year of weekly online one-to-one reading sessions my colleagues and I were invited by @Chapter One UK and the school to meet the children we read with in person. It was great to meet such an enthusiastic group of readers. Reading with a Chapter One child has been one of my favourite volunteering opportunities to date and it's great that it runs through the whole school year. #ItAllStartsWithLiteracy #employeevolunteering #onlinevolunteering #corporatepartnerships
