Activities

Weekly Job Clubs have helped job seekers improve basic IT skills, job search, cv's, interview skills, &  job outcomes supported by Learndirect Work Start Programme.  We work in partnership with Job Centre Plus and other local referral partners including the local schools and children's centres.

With the help of our volunteers we are able to support the advice and drop in sessions from GreenSquare Housing and Citizen's Advice Bureau assisting those people with financial, housing & legal issues.  Those statistics are shared between the organisations to enable the correct advice service to assist those people.

Through WEA Org & GreenSquare Housing, we run regular ICT courses, cookery classes, budgeting workshops, creative art classes to meet the demands of those job seekers & people/families in general. 

We also hire out our room space to organisations, meetings, & private parties.
