Learning in the local community has changed the lives of many adults across North Yorkshire and you could be one of them!

Research shows that learning throughout adulthood and into later life encourages important social interaction, gives a sense of hope and purpose and helps cope with stress, all of which has a positive impact on maintaining and improving our mental health and wellbeing.

This course will provide an opportunity to develop your English skills, with a focus on spelling, punctuation and grammar. This could be to support your employment opportunities, update your knowledge or support you to complete a Functional Skills qualification.
During the course you will:
