About us

Our main focus is to find creative ways to engage with the local community in Burngreave and surrounding areas. Since the launch of our flagship Creative English programme in 2017, we have worked with over 600 women and children from diverse backgrounds, building confidence in language and improving understanding of daily life in a new country, through our varied programme of activities. We seek to offer a warm welcome and support for newly-arrived, migrant women helping them to make connections, grow in confidence and build the skills they need to support their families.

Our Creative English programme is a relaxed, fun way to learn spoken English, equipping our learners to speak with confidence in everyday situations. Many of our learners no longer need an interpreter when they speak to their GP and can travel and shop independently.

Our weekly Craft Café offers a wide range of arts and crafts activities in a supportive environment. We practise language as we learn new skills and build friendships.

We appreciate the support of all our partners and supporters - thank you.
