‘It was a joy to have a legitimate reason to read out loud, share the experience and have time to reflect.’

Sarah, Volunteer Reading Champion 2010

‘I think City Reads is an amazing project. People from all walks of life are brought together through a common love of books and reading.’

Adele, Volunteer 2010

‘Had a fabulous time on Saturday distributing my 10 books as one of the volunteers. I love doing it… just wanted to be a fly on the wall to see the faces of the people finding them!’

City Reads is a not-for-profit arts organisation. It wouldn’t work without the hard work and commitment of our dedicated team of volunteers.

Every year, volunteers make a huge difference to City Reads by:

  • Helping distribute City Reads marketing
  • Helping distribute and disseminate City Reads books through the ever popular book crossing scheme.
  • Helping evaluate the success of City Reads to help achieve further funding
