Suffolk Project Crown
Brush-Feet for Success in Learning Crown Artist Brush - Case Study Recently the GMB organised a whole day of learning and training activities at the Kirkley Centre Lowestoft. Union members and their guests could try Free 90-minute taster sessions in a choice of subjects. Reflexology proved to be very popular. The attendees were given instructions of this ancient science of health and how it works and then they had to practice the techniques on each other.
Digital
photography was also on offer and the training session consisted of
using a camera and then how to enhance the photographs and insert into a
fun project of a calendar design. Desktop Publishing, Introduction to
Computers and the Internet were also on offer, as was a session on the
National Test for Numeracy and Literacy Levels 1&2.
All
of the taster sessions were well received with a total of 40 bookings
being delivered on the day. Some people signed up for a few courses and
others stayed all-day and learnt that learning can be fun and addictive.
GMB
Union Project Co-ordinator, Steve Walker who organised the day said,
“most of the people who attended had not done any form learning for
many years and some since leaving school”.
The
new learners have said, “this form of learning was great fun and
really useful and would like to do more courses and maybe a
qualification in the future”. John Leggett Kirkley Centre Manager
said, “it is great to see people of all ages and abilities getting
back to learning, we have follow on courses that are available at the
Kirkley Centre or at Lowestoft College and it is hoped many of these new
learners now feel more confident about learning and will continue with
it”.
This Union Learning Project is funded by the LSC (Learning and Skills Council) is one of many that are emerging around E Anglia as part of the Governments drive to boost skills, training and education levels for adults in the UK.

The National Test has had many new comers from Crown taking advantage of the Free Qualification. Pictured below are a few on their course which the company agreed to then doing in work time.
The notice Board is the place to find out what’s going on and there is always plenty to sign up for. Mel and Sue are well organised and design their own posters to attract new learners.
Pictured is Mel and a few of the new learners. So far this year there has been Basic ICT, CLAIT, Reflexology, National Test, Digital Photography and much more…… Sue and Mel are planning a First Aid course on car servicing followed by a Nail Care Course.
