classroom teaching
Our learning programme aims to tackle deprivation issues, focusing on local needs.

Classes teach important life skills to help learners move on to further education or employment or to have the confidence to become more involved in their local community.

Each week, we run several classes which focus on literacy, English, Information Computer Technology, Help Into Work and more.
