Our multi-cultural friendship group welcomes everyone. Learn or practise speaking English and meet people from all around the world. Class groups led by qualified tutors, supported by lots of volunteers, for every stage from beginner to advanced with accredited qualifications available. We are a social group, often cooking and eating together after the classes, talking about our families and finding out about each other’s home countries.
These Thursday sessions are more structured and classroom-based lessons, broken down in to groups related to the individual’s learning level. If you are looking for less formal and more conversational sessions you should consider The Welcome Project Conversation Group on Tuesdays.
THESE ARE FREE SESSIONS and open to anyone. FREE creche run by qualified child carers for babies and young children whose parents are learning with us.
Contact Laila Francis for more information. If you know someone who may benefit from joining our group, please support them to make contact with us. We are always looking for volunteers for this project. You do not need to commit to every week and you will be part of a fantastic, open-minded team.
The Welcome Project is delivered in partnership with Barnes Children’s Centre and Richmond & Hillcroft Adult Community College.
