THEN READ ON!


Skill Sharing is part of the Voluntary Projects Pro­ gramme funded by M.S.C. and sponsored locally by Accrington and Rossendale College of Further Education. Its purpose is to bring together on a voluntary basis, those who would like to learn or pass on a skill. It isn’t necessary to be qualified to teach a skill, and “ unqualified” tutors have been successfully running classes in Clitheroe for 15 months now, which have included shorthand, typ­ ing, woodwork, Spanish, German, catering, sew­ ing, computing, word-processing, etc.


Our current objective is to bring these opportuni­ ties to Ribble Valley villages. In order to do so, we have to know what is required both in terms of skills, tutors, or equipment.


If you are Interested or would like more information, give us a ring on
