Award-winning project supporting elderly and vul nerable adults with IT\, smart phones and arts & crafts.

https://www.essexstudent.com /events/7787/35499/

The Community Learning Project has a big impact on the community and has previously been given an awa rd by Braintree District Council for two years in a row. Our volunteers w ork with elderly people\, adults who may have mild learning difficulties or perhaps had to quit school at an early age and are looking to improve their life. We work to give them tutoring in IT skills\, such as writing emails\, looking up bus timetables\, using Google Maps\, and anything els e that helps them adapt easier to everyday life with technology. Other th an that\, we also help them with some arts and crafts\, and any other act ivities they might want to do on the day.

Com munity Learning Project is for those who are truly looking to make a diff erence in someone&rsquo\;s life. Over time\, students can see the regular attendees grow in confidence and become happier individuals. This projec t is for everyone\, but particularly for those that don&rsquo\;t shy away from a challenge and who have a big heart.
