Cheltenham teenager read aloud to neighbours’ children in first lockdown and is now branching out
Every evening, just before 7pm, Oscar Mallett’s alarm goes off. The 14-year-old stops whatever he’s doing and grabs a book.
He opens his laptop, logs into Zoom, and soon the eager faces of children from across the country pop up, waiting for their bedtime story. In the background their parents can be seen heaving a sigh of relief, knowing that for the next half an hour at least, there will be some respite.
