Community Learning and Health & Wellbeing
Our Community Learning Team works together with residents to provide opportunities to develop skills and gain confidence, increase health and wellbeing and take part in our community activities.
Our aim is for everyone to gain confidence, learn new skills, meet new people and have fun whilst being active and improving their health and wellbeing.
We offer residents free or low cost workshops, courses and activities, often working in partnership to bring these activities to our residents for free.
Learn digital skills to simplify your life online!
Get free help with IT basics, forms, health apps, banking, shopping, and more at St Richard’s Community Centre. Our weekly drop-ins, supported by an IT tutor and volunteers, cover computers, phones, and tablets.
We also offer short courses in computer basics, Microsoft Office, and Google tools, plus workshops on topics like online security and Canva.
We offer a variety of workshops, including British Sign Language (BSL), sewing, baking, arts and crafts, and ESOL classes for English learners.
