Do you have a New Year’s resolution to take up a new challenge, but don’t know where to start?
New Year can bring new beginnings, and it may be you want to get fit, change your lifestyle, or learn something new but don’t know where to start, or how to find information, or need someone to go along with you to offer encouragement.
The Inspiring Barrow project can provide just the sort help, advice and support you need to get you started. We have recruited Community Learning Champions who are local volunteers and can help you find the right learning opportunities for you.
They have all been in the same situation and know how difficult it can be to take that first step. They can research suitable courses for you, find out about the times and venues and even come along to the first session with you to provide some initial support if required.
There are many exciting learning opportunities available in Barrow but as Sandra Brown, Community Action Learning Forum (CLAF) says “Sometimes we just need some-one to direct us to what is available and help us through the initial process to get us going. If you are keen to take up something new but don’t know where to start, why not come along for a coffee and chat to find out how we can help.”
The next drop-in session is at Barrow Island Community Development Centre, Island Road on Wednesday 26th February 2014 9am-11am, children welcome.
“We would also like to meet people that have already taken that first step and benefited from learning new skills, activities and lifestyles and feel they can use their experience and knowledge to help others by becoming a Learning Champion” said Sandra.
Community Learning Champions receive full support from the CLAF co-ordinator; undertake accredited training and receive travel expenses. The next training course starts in March we would love to hear from anyone interested in joining us.
