Learning in the Community (LiNC)
Target group: Voluntary & Community groups working or based in one of the six Boroughs. Focusing, in particular, on people who would not usually consider mainstream education for example: refugees, lone parents, ethnic minorities and disabled people.
Project start date: November 2002 – December 2004
Aim: To provide a brokerage role and administer grants to local groups for community learning activities. Groups were supported to develop appropriate courses themselves, taking into account the specific needs of the people they worked with. The project also developed model contracts between colleges and the voluntary and community sector and an accredited tutor training programme.
Funding: The London South Learning & Skills Council and European Social Fund.

“The overall opinion of all the learners was that the training course was ‘fast and fun’ as one learner put it, ‘Brilliant! I learned a lot’ as another put it and ‘Demanding but very, very interesting – an eye opener!’ as a third learner added. All said they would recommend it to others.” Barbara Riddell (Kingston LiNC Worker) |

“In Merton LiNC has funded 15 local organisations to deliver a wide range of adult learning projects……The project has been enormously successful, exceeding its targets on recruiting learners and progressing a proportion of learners onto mainstream education…….The role of the SLCVS Partnership has been essential to the successful delivery of the project on the ground…..” Dave Hobday (Merton LiNC Worker) |
