We’ve been preparing the building for our Winter Party tomorrow afternoon 🙂

Thank you to Westfield Health for donating 5 sets of drawers and a new reception desk to Learn for Life. Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

We put a call out for Christmas trees and decorations last week on social media and were met with a great response! Thank you to the lovely Christmas elves and their friends, family and neighbours who have donated Christmas trees and decorations to some of our refugee households. A very big thank you to our lovely neighbours in Sharrow who have had a collection for Learn for Life. The money will go towards our Winter Party for our students at the end of the term,it is very much appreciated. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! <3

Thank you to Sheffield University Architecture Department who ran the Dwell Project for donating these 2 bright yellow tub chairs to Learn for Life. <3

Thank you to Steve for helping us with our IT support and donating 8 new computers to Learn for Life’s computer suite. They will be used for our IT projects and by our students to talk to friends and family around the world. 🙂

We will be using some of the crowdfunding to decorate and re-paint the classrooms. We have begun with the largest classroom downstairs. Thank you to all the painting volunteers! 🙂

Thank you to ZOO digital for donating tables, tub chairs, cabinets, shelving units, clocks, stationery & other useful items to Learn for Life. We hope you have a very happy Christmas and new year!

We’ve had our final van trip to ZOO Digital today to collect the last few items. We’ll stick up some photos tomorrow. In the meantime check out the press release below:

Sheffield’s ZOO Digital gives local charities an early Christmas gift

We are pleased to announce that we are in the Galaxy Hot Chocolate fund competition to win £300 for ESOL resources (text books and stationery). You can vote for us to win here: https://www.galaxyhotchocolate.com/fund/profiles/learn-for-life-enterprise

You are allowed to vote once a week for us to win for the next 14 weeks (closes 26th February 2017).

Thank you for all your support! 

Thank you to everyone who has voted for us in the OneFamily competition and for sharing the competition with your friends and networks. It is very much appreciated!

We received 850 votes in total, which is amazing, as it shows how much people care – thank you!  

When voting closed we were in 6th place, so we think it is unlikely we have won, as competition was strong. However, we are continuing with our mission to renovate the building and will be looking at other avenues.

If you can help, or know someone who can, please let us know. We have set up a wishlist on the website here: :https://www.learnforlifeenterprise.co.uk/donate/

We are on the look out for the following items to renovate our building. Please give us your support either by contributing to the cost of purchasing them or by donating the items themselves. If you can help, please email info@learnforlifeenterprise.com or phone us on 0114 2559080
