The Community Roots Learning Programme is a pilot project, which has been developed in response to community consultation to offer a diverse, engaging and inspiring place of learning and wellbeing, guided by the local community.

We hope to create a place in Dane Valley that local people can build a connection with, knowing there will always be something to join in with, be that gardening, permaculture, craft or many more exciting options to come. We will be striving for an offer; that is accessible, consistent in support and atmosphere, and fun!

We will be offering support to those who express an interest in collaborating or developing their own workshop throughout the project, as well as 1:1 support available for learners who need it via recruiting volunteer learning buddies.

This project has been funded by Thanet District Council as part of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, and we are extremely grateful to have this opportunity to collaborate with local facilitators and volunteers, to become a Community Hub for learning and wellbeing.
