It's not just the children who benefit from Chapter One UK's online reading volunteers programme. Amanda Blevins at Fidelity International explains how the experience has improved her skills, "Professionally, it has enhanced my communication skills and empathy towards others. It has helped me lead with more confidence. No matter how stressed I am during my working day, Jullya manages to distract me in a good way, and I will often find solutions to things I was struggling with after our reading session."

Anyone who knows me well knows how important my role as a Trustee and Vice-Chair is to me. I have been involved in school governance for 15 years and have been a Trustee in a Multi Academy Trust for three years and I can honestly say that it some of the most meaningful work that I have ever done. Did you know that school governors and trustees make up one of the biggest volunteer workforces in the UK? Over a quarter of a million people are making a difference in their communities and improving the lives of children and young people by giving their time as a governor or trustee. Being involved in school governance is one of the most rewarding ways in which I have been able to give something back to society and play a part in my local community at the same time as developing my professional skills and gaining valuable experience in strategic leadership. You don’t have to be an expert in education or a parent or have any special skills to become a governor. What you do need is enthusiasm for improving outcomes for children, the inquisitiveness to question and analyse and a willingness to learn and get involved If you are looking for a meaningful and impactful volunteer role, I would wholeheartedly recommend becoming a school governor or trustee so you can help to improve opportunities for children and young people in your community. #governorsforachools #schoolgovernors #trustees #makeadifference #volunteer

We presented the Philadelphia City Council with the following four asks. The FY 2025 Philadelphia must include… 1. Increase city funding for the School District by $100M. 2. Expand the number of children PHLpreK serves by 250. 3. Give children after-school enrichment options by preserving after-school services for 8,000 children served currently by the School District, investing $8.8M for youth programming at recreation centers, and continue $2M for Philly Youth Sports Fund that serves 5,000 more youth. 4. Make neighborhoods safer by redirecting the $4M in cost savings associated with reduced juvenile justice spending to diversion programs. Reference data points to understand why this is necessary for children and youth of Philadelphia. Thank you again to the following council members for putting children first!
