👁 We are still looking for our next Team Leader.
We’ve heard the feedback: "Team Leader sounds like a lot of work." But we promise, it’s not as hard as it seems.
The truth is, our Read Easy Waltham Forest team is already full of proactive, independent volunteers who know exactly what they are doing. They don't need managing—they just need a friendly leader to chair our meetings and keep the big picture in view.
We are a very welcoming and helpful bunch. Everything will be explained to you, and you'll be supported every step of the way.🫶
Spend a few flexible hours a week guiding a team that is already making a huge difference. DM us today to find out more!

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week, and we’re talking about how not being able to read can impact mental health.

Imagine the daily stress when you can't read a doctor's letter, a text from a friend, or a safety sign. For many, this leads to a cycle of frustration and feeling "left behind."

But there is a flip side. 🌟 Learning to read isn’t just about words; it’s about:
✅ Confidence: The pride of navigating the world independently.
✅ Connection: Finally being able to join the conversation.
✅ Calm: Reducing the daily anxiety of the unknown.

At Read Easy Waltham Forest, we provide a safe, private space to start that journey. No judgment, just support.

Do you know someone struggling? A quiet conversation could change their life.
