We are a user led service; this means we listen, involve, empower and enable individuals when they access our programmes.  Our activities are delivered to ensure we eliminate as many barriers to participation and engagement as possible.  This is achieved through providing bilingual, culturally sensitive provision across Tameside.  Our training and activities are delivered with the target audience in mind, therefore, ensuring it is during term time, outside of key religious and cultural festivals, gender specific and where possible, cover reasonable travel and childcare expenses.

Sessions are based across Tameside where there is a high need and demand. Our main delivery venue is situated in Hyde.  We deliver basic conversation classes and work in partnership with local statutory providers to deliver higher levels locally to the residents.  We also have opportunities for people to engage in:

• Volunteering
• Social activities
• Health & Wellbeing Workshops
• Other basic training such as pre-volunteering, confidence building, travel training
• Employment support
• Women can also access crisis support
