Out and About in Fartown

Volunteer-led ESOL is often in a friendly, relaxed and welcoming environment – not that college and adult learning classes can’t be friendly, but sometimes it is nice to be able to turn up late without repercussions and knock on the window to be let in with a smile and a joke. At Fartown Community ESOL, they say their classes are ‘more than ESOL’ – there are trips out, parties and more. Friendships are forged – there is a refreshment break between the beginners and the intermediate classes so that people from the two levels can mix. Conversation and socialising are a built-in, important part of the ethos of the provision as is their maxim EVERYONE IS WELCOME – NOBODY IS TURNED AWAY..
