Visit to the Helena Kennedy Centre

Today we were invited to visit the Helena Kennedy Centre at Sheffield Hallam University where we met lecturers, had a tour of the campus and enjoyed a buffet lunch. Thank you for inviting us! More photos can be seen on our Facebook page here.

Thank you The JG Graves Charitable Trust

Thank you to The JG Graves Charitable Trust who have kindly donated funding to Learn for Life Enterprise to improve the social area of our centre, where members of the community make friends, and our classrooms, where they improve their basic skills and education. We have been able to replace some of our worn and damaged chairs by purchasing new classroom chairs, tub chairs, a 2 seater sofa for our social area and a 3 seater modular sofa for our reception/social space. Thank you!

Future Perfect

Our new project, Future Perfect, is part of Active Communities which is funded by People’s Health Trust using money raised by Health Lottery Yorkshire and Humber.

Active Communities supports people to create and shape local projects that will help their community or neighbourhood to become even better. Active Communities projects aim to develop social links and ties and support residents to discuss and act on things that are important to them.

Our project will empower refugees in Sheffield to take control of their own career paths. We will educate them about UK culture and the employability skills needed to succeed in the UK job market. If you are a refugee in Sheffield who would like support please get in touch by emailing info@learnforlifeenterprise.com or phoning 01142559080 or dropping into the centre.

People’s Health Trust is an independent charity investing in local neighbourhoods to help create a society without health inequalities. It works closely with each of the regional and country lotteries raising money through The Health Lottery, and distributes grants.

Tech Set Go!

We are currently hosting a class for Learn for Life students as part of the Tech, Set, Go project funded by the government’s Digital Skills Innovation Fund being delivered by the Developer’s Academy. The aim of Tech, Set, Go is to help people develop web development skills and give them some exposure to the Digital industry. Our students are really enjoying the course and are progressing with their digital skills.
