Lifelong Learning & Skills
Lifelong learning means continuing to grow and develop your knowledge, skills and abilities. Learning enriches lives and there are so many benefits from learning something new, whether it benefits you, your family, your career or your volunteer work.
This page has information about learning – from manual skills to people skills, from art & crafts, to first aid.
We want to help you keep sharing your skills and knowledge so if there is something you would like to share, then please get in touch – or if you’d like to join, or even start, a club or group to share your skills, we can help.
