Seven new skills workshops for April and May

Cheltenham Borough Homes’ customers and local residents can brush up on their skills, and learn some new ones, thanks to another series of free workshops running in April and May.

Multiply, a government funded project, offers easy access to workshops, for people of all levels and numeracy requirements.

Steve Slater, chief executive for Cheltenham Borough Homes, said: “We’re really pleased to be continuing with these free workshops for our customers throughout the year and we hope that people will take advantage and invest in these skills for life.

“Good numeracy is important in everyday life as well as in work and study. Whether you need help managing your bills, budgeting or want to improve your potential for work, this is a great opportunity to learn and become more confident with numbers.”

Gayna Griffiths, training and employment coordinator, continued: “Our workshops will be really useful for our customers to attend and the subjects covered over the next few weeks include simple maths, budgeting, the cost of living and employability skills.”

Ten spaces are available for each workshop which are run by two qualified tutors, with hot and cold drinks provided free of charge.
