helps the children to read |
The scheme aims to bridge the generation gap by bringing
youngsters and older people together. As you can see
from the picture above, it seems to make everyone involved
very happy!
Gwen spends several hours a week at St Matthews School
in Preston helping children to read. She's one of many
volunteers in the scheme who encourage children to play
and learn practical skills like knitting, sewing and
mending bikes.
If
you'd like to volunteer for the Grandparenting Scheme,
