We were very happy to be invited to watch the new production of The Crucible at The Crucible theatre in Sheffield. 30 members of the Learn for Life community went along to see the dress rehearsal and 14 avoided the camera! Many thanks to Sheffield theatres for inviting us to come along. We thought the acting was excellent and the symbolism intriguing!

This course will run for 3 weeks from the 29th February 11 – 1 at Learn for Life Enterprise. On the 22nd February there will be an information session to find out more – come along if you would like help improving your CV and finding work

We’ve been supporting Cost of Living events across Sheffield during December and January. It’s been great to meet people from different areas of the city and tell them more about Learn for Life.

We welcomed Paul Blomfield MP to Learn for Life today. We had some good discussions around issues that have, and are, affecting us. Everyone took part and many of our students asked questions and shared their experiences of life in Sheffield.

Scraithwood TARA knitted some lovely items for Ukraine which we arranged to send to Kyiv in time for Christmas. These included toys, socks for soldiers, jumpers, scarfs, hats and pants amongst others. The items arrived in Ukraine where they were distributed to children who have lost parents in the war and soldiers on the frontline.
