Here are some personal testimonies about our classes:

"I am currently on the Singing, Cooking Skills, Life Skills and Drama courses. I thoroughly enjoy all my courses; they have kept me in touch with my friends during lockdown. The courses have been helping me to be more independent and have also helped with my time management, handling money, reading, and writing. The cookery session returned to face-to-face lessons. It is great to be able to have that social interaction again."

Andy - a learner

"Andy looks forward to all his classes with enthusiasm. The classes have been very beneficial to his mental health by being able to interact with his peers. He particularly enjoyed ‘Deaf Awareness Week’ where he could showcase his skillset by demonstrating his Makaton to both learners and tutors. I would highly recommend these courses as Andy gets such a buzz from all of his classes."

Andy’s parent

"Josh loves coming to class and is really learning and developing. All the staff have been great and make the lessons fun and rewarding."

A support worker

“The courses my son attends have helped his confidence and self-esteem, showing him learning can be enjoyable. He feels his contributions are valued.”
