Our Learner Stories
Dave, Photography
I wish I’d done something like this 30 years ago. I’d have been able to enjoy taking a lot more photographs for a lot longer.
Susan, Self-esteem and Confidence Building
I’ve come out in myself, being here and meeting new people. It’s helped take me out of my little comfort zone. Doing my course is making me feel better in myself.
Shirley, a bit of everything
It’s not just a warm space. It’s the camaraderie and the friendships. Since I’ve come here I’m a better person, my family has noticed a huge change in me. I love it, it’s wonderful. In fact, I even book my holidays around my courses.
