Our Stories - Rebecca S
Rebecca wanted to help her child at home with their reading and saw the Story Sacks course as a way to help her build the skills to be able to create helpful tools that could make learning not feel as tedious for her child. Rebecca found the course informative and useful as well as being therapeutic to spend time with her daughter one-to-one with having other young children in the household.

Our Stories - Aimee
Aimee chose to do the Functional Skills Maths course because they faced the challenges of needing Level 2 for job prospects and had not achieved a C at GCSE. They knew it would be something they would need to address and built on prior learning the previous year.
