An appeal is being launched for men in the Colchester and Tendring areas to act as reading mentors for young boys who, for whatever reason, are without a father. It’s a new project being piloted by the award-winning not-for-profit company Lads Need Dads, which is based in Clacton.
The scheme will run at four primary schools across the area to help those boys without fathers or a male role model in their lives to improve their reading.
