Tameside Arts Network AGM
10 November, 8pm-9pm at Stalybridge Civic Hall

The Tameside Arts Network exists to promote the work of Tameside artists and arts organisations and put people in touch with them. It now has a new logo and a website at www.tamesideartsnetwork.org.uk, which is well worth investigating. Any Tameside arts groups should send details and news of events to admin@tamesideartsnetwork.org.uk.

It would be great to see new faces at the AGM, particularly people who would like to get involved.

Volunteer Reading Help, Greater Manchester Branch is 10!
 Friday 5 December, 10am - 12pm, Ashton Town Hall, Etherow Lounge

Volunteer Reading Help (VRH) is a national charity which recruits, trains, places and supports dedicated volunteers to provide one-to-one, personalised reading support to children who find reading a struggle in schools and care homes across the UK.

This December the Greater Manchester Branch is 10 years old! We currently work with around 90 dedicated volunteers who are supporting over 150 children across 44 schools and 10 care homes in Tameside, Manchester, Stockport and Oldham.

To celebrate the wonderful achievements of all our volunteers and the children that they have worked with, we would like to extend a warm invitation to all past volunteers and anyone who has been supported by a VRH volunteer at school in the past to come and help us celebrate at our 10 Year Celebrations. There will be a performance by Rod Dimbleby, Professional Storyteller and the children of Linden Road Primary School followed by mince pies and cake!

If you would like to attend or are interested in volunteering for Volunteer Reading Help please contact Jane Lyth, Branch Administrator, on 0161 337 9016 or email, gtrmanchester@vrh.org.uk
