BCHF Pilots The BE Project in Bristol

BCHF was pleased to participate in a pilot project with Bristol Community Learning to recruit six adult learners from Upper Horfield to The (BE) Project: a course to help people to identify what they really wanted in their life and how to take steps to move closer towards it.  Our students took their classes weekly at the BCHF office tutored by Pauline Haynes.  They were presented their certificates by Heather Tomlinson at a graduation ceremony held at the Colston Hall on 16th May, along with two other groups from across Bristol.
