As a woman’s community based education provider we offer a wide range of training and educational opportunities for socially excluded women living in disadvantaged communities. We deliver up to 30 classes per week covering 25 subject areas. This is a mixture of accredited and non- accredited learning. For children aged 6 weeks to 4 years we provide
free, quality on-site childcare giving them the opportunity to benefit from a range of play experiences and resources they would not otherwise have access to while ensuring that women who require this facility are able to participate in training. The project continues to make a real difference to the lives of the women who engage with us addressing their needs in relation to academic achievement, learning new skills, increasing self confidence and self esteem, reducing social isolation and promoting health and well being.
