BCLC appeal

Story by Rebecca Cram, Community Learning Assistant

The Burngreave Community Learning Campaign is committed to helping local adults go back into education.

We find people the right courses or even start a course if one isn’t available. We are here to help everyone, from all backgrounds.

One of the issues BCLC is trying to tackle is engaging the white community in the goings on of the area. In our figures for September 2004 to January 2005 only 13% of participants were white British. As 58.5% of Burngreave is of white origin then that is a small amount that are coming to us for advice.

Of the twenty learning assistants at BCLC, four of us are white British and we are actively seeking involvement and information from the white community in Burngreave on education, festivals and community interaction. We would like people’s ideas, experiences and knowledge of the activities and courses available in the area.

If any readers are interested in courses, or want to give us your opinions on what’s available for the white community then please come to Forum House, 35 Spital Hill, or call (number withdrawn) and ask for Rebecca, Katie, Kevin or Jean.

We would also like to hear from anyone who would like to get involved in our May festival – Burngreave Celebrates Learning.
