In brief

Free learning event

A free event about lifelong learning is being held in Hamilton on Friday, May 5, in a bid to get people thinking about how they can learn new skills.

South Lanarkshire Council’s Community Learning and Home School Partnership are behind the initiative.

There will be a range of information stalls and community groups on hand. The University of the West of Scotland’s Hamilton campus will host the event that runs from 10am to 3pm.
