Adult Learners Week

This week, FCC participated in Adult Learners Week.

We were lucky to gain some funding from NIACE to support the events, which were supported by WEA also.

We held different events including:

• ABC/123, life skills for you and me (practical basic skills session)
• Family Arts and crafts session
• Website design taster session
• Heritage visit
• Don’t be rash with cash (financial literacy awareness - this event was organised with the generous support of the Cooperative Membership; for further information about the Cooperative Membership please click here...)

Over 100 people joined in the events over the week. This was a good way of finding out what type of courses to offer in September.

ABC/123 and Don’t be rash with cash were popular and parents evaluations stated they were keen for more, so not to disappoint we have booked these courses for September/October.

On the website design, a few of you asked the tutor about Computer maintenance so we have booked a taster session for this soon, in June.

St. Fagans Visit

Today, FCC organised a visit to St. Fagans. This was a National Heritage visit booked as part of Adult Learners Week.

39 people attended including FCC staff, parents, members of “The Gateway Project” and members of the community that were young at heart, but not so young in age!

We were lucky to have blazing sunshine and the freshly baked bread was oh so lush. Most visitors came away with a bloomer and Welsh jams, as well as Welsh chocolates.

The castle was amazing and was a very romantic setting - shame Chantelle was with Heather instead of her hubby (lol, only joking Hev).

Well done to those pregnant mums who participated and kept up with the walking and a few hills and steps.

A great day was had by all and quite a few people would like to return later in the year - maybe nearer Christmas?
