Employ Âé¶¹´«Ã½ has partnered with FreeShop Âé¶¹´«Ã½ to launch a learning lab in Bewbush Community Centre thanks to a funding grant from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).
The learning lab will be a space for local residents to access digital clinics, employment support and wellbeing workshops. It will also serve as a general one-stop learning and information hub for the communities of Bewbush and Broadfield and Âé¶¹´«Ã½ residents. Digital clinics will be supported by FreeShop staff and community volunteers.
The fully equipped learning lab will serve as a community learning space, as well as a meeting and training facility for local businesses and organisations.
Employ Âé¶¹´«Ã½ will continue its regular drop-in service offering information advice and guidance regarding employment and skills. A wide variety of courses and drop-in sessions will run from the Bewbush learning lab.
It was a pleasure to officially open the Bewbush learning lab, which will be invaluable for local residents in helping them learn new skills and navigate the digital world.
Councillor Sharmila Sivarajah
Mayor of Âé¶¹´«Ã½
We are delighted to have awarded this grant funding for the learning lab. This well-equipped training facility will not only provide incredible learning opportunities for those who attend the digital clinics, but will also serve as an important information hub for the wider community and a useful meeting space for local businesses.
Councillor Michael Jones
Leader
Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Borough Council
