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 well-being.
Creative writing Chapter 1 is a fun and therapeutic way of building confidence, developing creativity and practising key language skills.
