What a terrific idea, and just one way of showing how much education (in it's wider sense) matters.

That looks fabulous Butty and may be the start of a better life for some of the students.

Great Good News! Let's hope this idea takes off in other places too.

Good to see positive action!
Lets hope the idea spreads to other towns/cities.
The Mental Health team nearby offer courses in Art, Creative Writing, Yoga and more, (I only know of the above as a friend's daughter partakes) this must be happening elsewhere.

St Mungo's is a wonderful charity for the homeless. They try to keep homeless people and their dogs together too.

Wonder why governments can't be this innovative.

Butty Thanks for the link. Marvellous! A real opportunity for disadvantaged people to be given the chance to build self-confidence and hopefully turn their lives around.
