All courses are subject to change. All courses are subject to minimum numbers of learners. It

is really important that learners attend all sessions (we know occasionally it’s not always

possible) as by not attending puts the course at risk of closure and learners miss out.

For those aged under 25 places are available in our Active Matters groups (see the previous

page) and our new My Teens and Twenties Matter social groups. Both offer opportunities for

you to meet with peers, take part in activities that you choose and have fun. For more
