There will be 24 sessions in all, twelve delivered by LGF of which six are aimed at women though men are welcome, and six are aimed at men though women are welcome, and twelve delivered by Gaydio. Workshops run on Saturday afternoons from Sept 2011 to March 2012.

This is a great opportunity to access adult learning in a safe and friendly environment in order to learn new skills, improve your CV, try free taster sessions, meet like minded people and have fun!

There will also be lots of information and handy hints about accessing further learning if you like what you try! Even better, we can also cover childcare costs, reasonable travel costs, and facilitate any access needs (signing, etc.).
