Who we are

Since 2006 Dorset Reading Partners has been providing local primary schools with trained and equipped volunteer reading partners who give regular, tailored one-to-one support to young readers.

Reading for pleasure is at the heart of what we do. Our aim is to make reading fun by sharing our love of reading, providing children with a choice of interesting materials, and allowing them to work at their own pace in a nurturing and supportive setting.


The role

As a Trustee, you will:

  • Play a vital role in guiding our strategy and vision for the future.
  • Bring fresh perspectives and skills to help us evolve and thrive.
  • Champion our mission and ensure we continue to deliver lasting change.

We’re seeking people who are passionate about our cause, committed to good governance, and excited to help shape what the next 20 years will look like. Whether you bring expertise in finance, marketing, fundraising, or digital innovation, or, simply a deep belief in our mission, your contribution will matter.
