The programme aims to improve confidence, self-esteem and core skills, whilst encouraging people to take ownership over the next steps in their journey towards being a volunteer and/or employment ready.
What our clients say…
‘I have a lot of self-worth now; if I compare myself to a year ago I have come so far with my small goals and my confidence has grown.
It might sound OTT but Learn2Earn has changed my life. My next goal is to build up my skills to go part-time and then on to full-time employment. I highly recommend Learn2Earn if you are unemployed, many doors can open’.

These coding course start in September. We have decided to extend the catchment to include those living, working and studying in North Kensington, plus any individuals who live slightly outside North Kensington but are interested in the course (applications will be considered on a case by case basis). We have also extended the deadline for applying to the course to 17th August. Hopefully this will encourage a wider group to attend the taster session and consider applying for the course. I would be very grateful if you could pass this information on to anyone you think might be interested.
As usual we are holding the taster sessions Monday at the ClementJames Centre at 6.30pm.

WAND UK would like to invite you to walk with us, crossing the 7 London bridges to raise funds for WAND’s projects. WAND works with women across London, we want all women to be able to benefit from our services. We aim to empower and improve the quality of life of the women we work with. We connect our women and their families, to the community to give them a sense of place and purpose, ending the cycle of isolation, economic and social disadvantages giving them a voice in the community. WAND supports about 600 women a year and many of those use the Emotional Wellbeing support service. Whilst we walk across London’s bridges, we will be raising funds for WAND’s Mental and Emotional Wellbeing Project which provides women with support to help them realise their full potential.
