The Learning Trust’s Family Learning team works with Adult & Community Learning (ACL) to enhance the quality of life for families in Hackney by creating opportunities and activities for them to learn together.
Family Learning programmes are co-ordinated by the Family Learning team, whose role is to offer guidance, training and support to Family Learning providers and promote Family Learning in Hackney.
If your organisation or project has an innovative programme that addresses a local need and corresponds with the Family Learning criteria, we would like to hear from you.
Currently there are two funding rounds per year – one in April and one in November, however, if you wish to contact us at any point in the year we would be happy to hear from you.
There are two strands of Family Learning that you could apply for:
Wider Family Learning (WFL)
WFL programmes encourage adults to learn for their own personal development and for the benefit of their children. Programmes are usually creative, fun and community-based and are designed to engage adult and child learners together over a period of time. For many adults, Wider Family Learning is the first step back into learning.
Family Literacy, Language and Numeracy (FLLN)
FLLN programmes have a more specific focus on literacy, numeracy and language, while helping to promote family interaction.
FLLN programmes aim to:
- Improve the literacy, language or numeracy skills of parents
- Improve parents' ability to help their children
- Improve children's attainment in literacy, language and numeracy
The Learning Trust follows course cost guidelines set out by the LSC. Click here to download a Word document containing more information.
