Due to participant feedback, our walking group for Bangladeshi women also offers ESOL support. After their walk, the group develops their knowledge of the English alphabet and practices conversational English. Through role play exercises, the group develops their English skills and are gaining confidence to chat with new friends and book GP appointments. For more information please call or text 07944966141.
We also started a Conversation Club at the end of 2022 for men who would like to practice speaking English. We are hoping to run more courses in 2023 for people to confidently chat with neighbours, order food, or make appointments over the phone in English.
Our recent financial wellbeing pilot at Hackney Baby Bank provided local mums with practical tools and ideas for how to manage money and financial worries. We are hoping to roll-out more courses in 2023. For more information, please call or text 07840843361.
