We're proud to be a Chapter One Gold Partner, and have released a video as part of our initiative to encourage more employees to volunteer with the children's reading charity. The film features our Chapter One volunteers speaking in their own words about what just 30 minutes of reading a week with a child means to them, as well as the impact they see on the children they support. 

The video also includes a contribution from our CEO, highlighting why the partnership with Chapter One is so important to our business and our people. The initiative underlines our ongoing commitment to supporting children's literacy and employee-led volunteering. 

Watch the video to see how small, regular moments of connection can help transform futures. 

“At Wavenet, we want to make a positive impact. Not just in our industries but also in the communities that we're part of. One such charity we're proud to support is Chapter One. This amazing organisation transforms children's lives through online reading and support. Many of our colleagues have already volunteered. The commitment is minimal - just half an hour a week to read with a child, but the difference this makes to a child is tremendous. Why not give it a go? A little effort makes a  difference that could change somebody's life.”
