Event Information

Description

Find out about Hackney Pirates on Kingsland Road: They are coming to tell Stokey WI what they do and how we might help if we want to

Make learning an adventure for local young people – possibly volunteer once per month

The Hackney Pirates is an innovative education charity supporting young people aged 9-12 to develop the literacy, confidence and perseverance that will help them achieve both in school and the world beyond. In our unconventional learning space, a pirate ship on Kingsland High Street, young people work on reading and creative writing projects that culminate in the publication of storybooks, CDs and websites.

We are looking for volunteers who are able to donate one afternoon a month (3.45pm to 6.45pm) to work one-to-one or in small groups with our Young Pirates.
