About
Us
Literacy Volunteers (Literacy
Volunteers in Nottinghamshire Schools) is a voluntary organisation. It is a
partnership of Schools and Volunteers.
Our Mission Statement is:
Literacy Volunteers is a registered
charity that enriches young people’s lives by assisting with their literacy,
communication and social skills.
We work in partnership with schools by
providing trained and supported Volunteers who make reading and communicating
enjoyable to those at risk of disengaging from education.
Member
organisations (Schools) and individual members (Volunteers) elect an Executive
Committee from the members each year. The Executive Committee is responsible
for managing the organisation. The daily running of the Charity is delegated to
the Service Director who is assisted and supported by the six other members of
the Staff Team who carry out a wide range of administrative, training and
Volunteer support duties.
Literacy Volunteers works in partnership with both the Nottingham City
Council’s Children and Families Department and Nottinghamshire County Council’s
Children and Young People’s Services. Our Administration and Training
facilities are provided by Nottingham City Council at The Denewood Centre.
When we train or hold events in the County like support is provided by the
County Council.
The organisation is funded by grants, membership subscriptions paid by schools,
and donations.
In February 2006, Nottinghamshire County Council held a
Civic Reception to celebrate a decade of achievement and service given to the
children of Nottinghamshire by Literacy Volunteers and in June the Charity was
honoured by Her Majesty the Queen when we were awarded the Queen’s Award for
Voluntary Service 2006. This Award was one of only 103 won by organizations in
the UK in that particular year.
