Leanne found out about the WEA through her local community centre. Crafty at heart, she wanted to build on her upcycling skills which she finds essential for her health and wellbeing. 

“I enjoy the course because it allows me to work with my hands and problem-solve. I feel like I’ve gained so much experience. 

A regular visitor to her local community centre, Leanne was thrilled at the thought of being able to do something she enjoys while socialising with new people.  

"My tutor Jaynie is absolutely wonderful. I couldn’t ask for a better tutor. She explains what we need to do with demonstrations which I find very useful.” 

Learning with the WEA has made Leanne feel more confident and has boosted her health, both mentally and physically. “I’m able to get out of the house more and now do a lot more walking.”
