Pooh Bear Reading Assistance Society Need Your Call!

The Pooh Bear Reading Assistance Society is an organisation which puts volunteers into schools throughout Hull and the East Riding in order to help children who have reading difficulties. They do fantastic work and have enriched the lives of countless kids over the years. Unfortunately, they have a constant struggle to raise funds for the work they do and the project is continually under threat. However, they have made it through to the finals of the National Lottery Awards for 2005 - if they were to win, it would ease many of their worries! They are up against two other projects - the Newcastle Special Needs Network and the Southampton Dragonfly Team.

For the sake of a 10-second phone call, please ring 0845 434 9461 (local rates) and vote for Pooh Bear (Option 3). Your support would be greatly appreciated.
