We started offering ESOL (English as a Second Language) classes to asylum seekers and refugees in January 2016. All of our students are adults coming from different parts of the globe. They’re all different – some young, some older, some with young families, including single mums with toddlers, and some who have special needs or challenges and need a further level of support. We started off small, but our numbers have grown significantly and our students have blossomed.
With numbers rising, by January 2020 we were delivering nine classes in three different venues. We currently teach classes for beginners, elementary levels 1, 2 and 3, as well as a GCSE class. We meet at least once a week.
