Use Your Voice – Women who are Changing the World

Hayley has been included in the “Use your voice – Women who are changing the world” book produced as part of the Voice Box Cafes project by The Good Things Foundation. The booklet includes stories about inspirational women who have used their voice to make a change.

Voiceboxcafes Celebration

We have been running Voice Box Cafes women groups this year and have reached over 50 women. In the cafes we have been discussing the importance of using your voice and being able to make a change. This week Carol and Pari went to the House of Lords in London to represent Learn for Life at the Voice Box Cafes celebration. They both had a great time meeting inspirational women and celebrating. Photographs from the day can be seen on our Facebook page here.:

#FootballPeople Learn for Life Tournament

As part of #FootballPeople week we have been empowering our footballers at Learn for Life. On Saturday we had a tournament inviting teams from in and around Sheffield including Doncaster Conversation Club, Cornerstone Day Centre from Manchester, Good Things Foundation, Brunsmeer Awareness, TT Electronics and DINA. The tournament was well attended, food was shared and good fun was had! The tournament was set up as a league with each team playing two games followed by the final. Learn for Life United won their first game 3 – 0, drew their 2nd game 2 -2, won the penalty shoot out and then won the final game 6 – 1 bringing the trophy (and medals) home! We are all really proud of what the team achieved showing real team working skills, confidence and determination. There are more photos from the tournament on our facebook page here.
