February 12th -
Flourishing Families recently organised some training for our English class volunteers. Our English class has continued to grow from strength to strength with a brilliant team of volunteers who give up their time to teach and make contact with our students.
They have been keen to build on their teaching skills and confidence in delivering English lessons and MDA College kindly agreed to deliver some teacher training. The training focused on working with beginner learners, lesson planning and teaching techniques.
The volunteers really enjoyed the training and found it extremely beneficial. One volunteer immediately commented after the session, ‘I already feel more confident to teach!’ So, thank you MDA College for this training session which will indeed help our English class flourish!
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.
