Campaign idea: Veronica reads to children online

Veronica worried she was too out of touch to volunteer online, but now she reads stories to children over video calls.

This story

Veronica began her career as a children's librarian in the 1970s and later worked as a proofreader. After spotting an advert, she worried she was too old to handle the technology and lacked the physical strength to carry books to homes in person. She opted for online volunteering and now reads regularly over video calls to three children.

What your brand could do

Provide the tech and a fresh collection of children's books for Veronica's online reading sessions.
