Dear [MP name]
Congratulations on your election as MP for [constituency name].
You will already know that our local area has some great community projects offering support to those most in need.
One of the charities working in the area is the WEA, which provides adult education for local communities. I know the WEA because I am [a learner/member/volunteer with them/ a member of staff / delete as appropriate].
Community adult education has a positive impact in lots of ways. It supports learners into work and into further education. It also has well proven benefits for mental health & wellbeing, combating isolation, increasing community connections and building confidence to help people live full lives. In my own experience [add a few details here if you wish to make the letter more personal]
The WEA is one of the charities making a difference in our local community. If you would like to find out more, the local team would be happy to arrange a visit to a WEA course to meet learners like me. I have not heard much during the election campaign about community learning and I hope to hear more in the new Parliament. Finding out about the important work already happening in the area would be a great start.
The WEA can be contacted via [email protected]. I hope to meet you at a WEA course soon so that you can see the impact community adult education can have.
Yours sincerely,
(your name)
