Bringing The Reader Mansion House to life

In Spring 2019, we’ll be opening The Reader Mansion House in Calderstones Park, where there will be a vibrant programme designed to help people experience literature, be nourished, develop new skills and explore their creativity:

That means even more opportunities to get involved with our pioneering work:

• 16 new Shared Reading groups, with up to 32 new Reader Leader roles.
• DIY volunteers to help us smooth some edges ahead of opening the doors to our newly renovated HQ.
• Reception volunteers to welcome and guide our visitors.
• Arts and well-being volunteers to share their passion through a new weekly group.
• Outdoor volunteers to care for our open spaces.
• Heritage volunteers to bring the ancient Calder Stones into the 21^st century.
• Event volunteers to support our wide-ranging programme.
• Advocates to shout about what’s now on offer.

If you have a great idea for an arts or well-being group that should be part of our programme, or if you’d like to find out more about any of these opportunities, email volunteer@thereader.org.uk.
