Our learning programmes deliver ESOL, personal development and employability training and digital skills, while welfare-rights advisers guide clients through benefits claims, debt management and PIP applications. A dedicated youth and sports projects provide social activities and mentoring for young people, and our heritage programme and community events enable participants to explore pasts, celebrate cultural identities and build local connections.
