Who we are
The Pooh Bear Reading Assistance Society is a local voluntary organisation based in the City of Hull, East Yorkshire that provides valuable one-to-one reading support to children who find reading difficult.

Our aim
Working in schools, family homes, reading clubs and other settings, volunteers aim to build confidence and develop reading skills through sharing and enjoying books together.

Who can volunteer?
YOU CAN , if you enjoy books yourself and care about children. You don't need 'paper' qualifications but you do need enthusiasm, patience and commitment. Pooh Bear RAS volunteers are men and women of all ages, from all walks of life and backgrounds.

Our volunteers support children and young people with their reading in local schools, reading clubs, family homes and other settings, whichever fits in with their availability.
