What is the Community Roots Learning Programme?

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

By developing this programme, there will be 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 the 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. (See our callout if you would like to help.)

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.

“....to do more outdoors, because I'm sitting at home looking for work and
not finding work, getting out, meeting new people and socialising.”
