In 2019 our English Conversation Class continued to thrive and grow. Our classes welcomed people from many different nations, providing a space to learn new language skills and connect with others in a relaxed and hospitable environment. 2019 was also the year that our Story Tellers programme was launched. Story Tellers groups make reading fun and give families the opportunity to spend quality time together. They not only boost confidence in reading for children, they empower parents too, enabling the whole family to increase their literacy skills together. Here is Amy’s story about the significant impact Story Tellers has had on the whole family.
We’re thrilled to welcome the latest additions to our team, Tabitha, Papaya and Josiah, our Graduate Interns, and Helen, the latest member of our cookery team. We can’t wait for them to showcase their experience, expertise and enthusiasm! Let’s get to know them a little better…
“Before this group, I felt like a nobody. Now I feel like somebody.” This was the answer 8-year-old Evie gave when asked about the difference our Activity-Based Mentoring Group had made for her. This sums up for us why we do what we do. Everyone deserves to know that they matter, whatever their circumstances and challenges.
We are immensely grateful to everyone who has contributed to our slow cooker appeal.
What a great term it has been at FFL! We have been busy delivering our various groups and programmes around Leeds. Our families have loved coming along to the groups and have benefitted hugely from the activities and support from the FFL team.
