Healthy taster sessions to be held

A range of free taster sessions to help support health and wellbeing are being offered by Leicestershire County Council’s Adult Learning Service GoLearn, at venues across the county during February and March.

Taster sessions include a gentle introduction to the course, hands-on activity delivered by expert tutors and a chance for learners to ask any questions they may have. All sessions are completely free and there is no need to book.

Councillor Christine Radford, cabinet member for adults and communities, said: “We’re offering a range of superb sessions which are completely free, aimed at improving adult skills. So, if you want to get fitter, improve your numeracy skills, learn how to be handy with a needle and thread, or just fancy something different, these taster sessions we’re offering will fit the bill.

“These GoLearn courses are informative, interactive and a great way to learn or improve your skills and meet new people. I would urge anyone interested to get in touch and see what’s on offer.”

GoLearn is also offering a brand-new taster session for 2023 - ‘Exploring Environmental Apps and Websites’. Learners have the chance to get hands-on with a wide range of digital resources to support sustainability, supported by expert digital skills tutors.

The course teaches learners how to find and use a wide range of apps designed to help reduce waste, connect with nature, and understand all things ‘green’ by using a mix of tablets and PCs, which are all available for free. The taster sessions are being held:

Wednesday 1 March, Roundhill Adult Learning Centre, Thurmaston, 11.30am-12.30pm

Monday 27 February, Hinckley Library, 10.30am-12noon
