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.
This year we’ve begun exciting plans to help transform futures and change lives in Hull, one of the most disadvantaged cities in the UK, where 33.4% of children live in relative poverty.
Earlier this month we had the privilege of hosting the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Member of Parliament for Leeds West and Pudsey, Rachel Reeves, at a showcase of the work we do to empower families.
