Were you 'Away From School The Day They Did English'?

Would you like to be able to read with your children or grandchildren?
We make it easy to learn in a fun environment with people of all ages and from all walks of life.

Maths isn't just for 'Nerds'!
With today's modern calculators and shop tills, there's often no need to be able to count, right? You hand the shop assistant a fiver or a tenner, then just pocket the change? Well, you'd be amazed at just how often you're given the wrong change, and it always seems to be in the shop's favour! This is where basic maths skills come in, and this is exactly what we teach! It's FREE for anyone who is on benefits. It doesn't matter who you are, we never judge. You receive all the support and encouragement you need from teachers and other students who are very approachable. To find out more, call in or phone 0114 2853093.

In our last newsletter we let you know we were taking over the running of Southey Library. The feedback we have received has been really positive. It was stressful start. We would like to thank all people who use the library at this time for their patience and understanding. On Dec 2nd another 6 volunteers attended. Great help as all volunteers will now be able to use the specialised computer system. We have replaced furniture improved facilities to make more social and welcoming atmosphere. Why not call in and see us. If you have any ideas on anything we can do please let us know, if we can do it we will. Southey Forum was set up and been run by volunteers since 2008?
