Your Courses Welcome
to our LifePlan Brochure 2020.
Could 2020 be the year you decide to try something new? We have brought back some favourite courses as well as our brand new Good Loaf Bakery Workshop and Level 2 Food Hygiene – see details on page 18 & 28. You may be a little surprised by our varied selection - LifePlan courses are all about learning new skills, developing your confidence and having a few laughs along the way. So if you see something that interests you why not book a place as spaces are limited. Our courses are free and if you need support in attending then just let us know as we are happy to provide transport to the course venue. Maybe you need extra registered childcare in order to attend please contact us to find out how we may be able to help. You will see that some courses are only available to Council/Housing Association and Leasehold Tenants, this is due to the funding of these sessions. We do have courses that are available to all customers but please don’t hesitate in contacting me if you would like further information. I look forward to meeting you on a course.
