At The Springfield Project we host a range of opportunities for adults, including English classes, exercise, art and craft, digital skills and parent courses.
Our flagship Place of Welcome runs every Thursday, 1-3pm in term time. Everyone is welcome to come along and enjoy friendship, food, and activities including pool, knitting, computers, colouring and games. Our cooking group meets at 12 noon to prepare a hot, nutritious meal for everyone.
We currently offer regular free legal advice through Central England Law Centre. There is no need to book; just come along to one of our Place of Welcome sessions.
English classes are for complete beginners. The courses start afresh each term and aim to prepare adults to start accredited courses with local colleges.
Volunteering is a great way to boost confidence and gain work skills. Contact Samina for more information on [email protected] or call 0121 777 2722
Other Adult Activities
We run a variety of other activities throughout the week. These vary but currently include digital skills courses, healthy lifestyle support and energy saving advice. Check our social media or ask at reception (0121 777 2722) for up-to-date information of what is taking place and to sign up.
Parents of under 5s
If you have a child under 5 and you are local to Sparkhill we run parenting courses, antenatal sessions, and offer advice and support. Visit our Pregnancy & Under 5s section to find out more.
