It’s your time to shine this June!
The weather is warmer, the days are longer, so what better time to embrace learning something new! From arts & crafts, photography and personal development to beauty, health & wellbeing and digital skills to name but a few, we have loads of workshops & courses for you to discover. Plus, we have a full week of workshops designed specifically for carers to enjoy and benefit from during Carers Week (6-12 June).
We aim for our workshops and courses to develop stronger communities across Somerset, build your confidence and encourage you to get the best out of life. Do remember to check back regularly for updates on new courses throughout the month too.
