Help provide courses for adults
The Worker's Education Association is seeking new branch committee members to help plan and promote short courses for local adults. The small committee meets two or three times a year. The positions are voluntary. You may have taken part in courses in the past but this is not necessary.
Nationally, the WEA is the largest single voluntary provider of adult education and is a registered charity. They believe in learning for the fun of it so courses are non-vocational.
For an informal discussion, contact Simon Cannell on 01454 610071.
