'One2One' JHJ - Supported Education, Leisure Activities & Social Enterprise Day Provision

Who we are

My name is Julie and I have over 15 years full time experience in Further & Community Education, teaching adults of all ages and abilities from Pre-Entry to Level 2 and mainly in Supported Learning. As such, we embed literacy and numeracy into all that we do.

Our ethos is to enable clients to become productive and visible members of society through socialising, promoting independence, academic progression and work related activities

We have an established cohort of twelve students of ages ranging from middle 20's to mid 70's. They are a small close group that gets on really well so it is important that everyone is happy, including any new clients.

Our culture of working is that we are all different adults with varying needs so we all help each other.

We have a lovely group of people so it is vital, for a thriving and happy learning environment, that the group dynamics work for everyone.


 

What we do

Our provision offers a wide variety of activities.

Learners have the option to further develop their independent living abilities, healthy lifestyles awareness and/or work based skills.

This is achieved through our on site facilities at St Matthew's Hall, Stretford, along with working in community partnerships.
