According to Community Learning Campaign Manager Sheena Clarke, there are still places on some courses and, if there is enough demand, there may even be the chance to organise new ones:

“The Burngreave Community Learning Campaign can help you find the right course and if enough people want to study something that’s not already on offer, we can work with local providers to see if we can organise it.

“You may have already spotted our Community Learning Assistants walking up and down Spital Hill or in other parts of Burngreave. They have been busy accompanying learners to enrolment days and assisting them with completing application forms and obtaining course information. Or you may have seen us at Ellesmere Green on 5th September at our Learners’ Fair where we spent a sunny afternoon talking to people as they passed by, and encouraging them to return to learning.

“Whatever it is you want to learn, we can help point you in the right direction. Whether you want to get a skill to help you get a job, improve your English or maths, want to keep up with your children’s schoolwork or just learn something new for fun – there are hundreds of interesting courses in Burngreave to choose from such as Computers For The Terrified, Build A Solar Panel, Health & Well Being, Car Maintenance; the list goes on and on.”

If you are interested in enrolling on a course – whether it’s to gain new skills or improve on existing skills – please contact the Burngreave Community Learning Campaign on 279 4960, or drop in to our office at Forum House, 35 Spital Hill.

The recent Learner’s Fair on Ellesmere Green gave local people the chance to find out more about learning opportunities in Burngreave and beyond.
