Since coming together during lockdown and formally being established in December 2020, Read Easy Bath has started to deliver one-to-one coaching for adults in and around Bath learning to read. We currently have thirteen active coaching/reading pairs with ten learning in person, one remotely and two doing a mixture. Coaches and readers usually meet for two half hour sessions a week, at a mutually convenient time and place, or online. We use four local community venues, including Bath central library, Widcombe Social Club, Mead House, Southside and Southdown Methodist Church, with more in development. Coaching, from trained volunteers, is free.

We currently operate in Bath but are hoping to expand to Peasedown and Radstock.
