is here to enable people from every part of the community to get together to
follow and interest or hobby, learn new skills or perhaps even to obtain a
formal qualification.
Areas of activity include pre-school provision, work with under 12's, youth work, adult education, educational opportunities for older people, development work with people who have special needs and community development projects.
