first steps in learning

So you've decided to learn - great! What next?

Finding out about the right learning for you can seem a bit difficult but with the right advice you'll find a learning session at a time and place that's right for you.

Some of the things you can do are

  • literacy and numeracy-brushing up on reading, writing, spelling  and numbers
  • arts and crafts
  • confidence building
  • story telling
  • computers and the Internet
  • beauty therapy taster sessions
  • English for speakers of other languages (ESOL)

If you’re living in supported accomodation there might already be some learning sessions going on - ask your support worker.

If you’re living in a hostel there could be learning sessions too. Inglefield Street Women’s hostel has learning sessions every week with the chance to try new things-check out the timetable in the hostel for what’s on this week.

Some day centres have learning sessions with a variety of different subjects. Each project and centre has different learning options, so ask your support worker or contact one of the day centres.
