'Your Community Development Support Workers have just completed work
with several of our members .To watch members receiving their
certificates was wonderful. The team have been marvelous, not only with
the work they have offered but in the manner in which they supported the
individuals at our Social Centre.....Long may your very worthwhile
scheme continue to support people in their own community.''

'I think that the benefits of this project are outstanding. When
parents are put in a learning environment it transfers to the way they
help their children and improves the parents' self esteem.''


''We have wanted the community around our church to come together more.
I believe the Neighbourhood Learning Project has helped in this. Each
term it seems more and more people are calling in the Centre and using
facilities here. The next computer course is already fully booked.The
paople in this area are in need of helpwith education.The NLP has helped
deliver this; and it is growing!''
