Chantry Academy principal Craig D’Cunha said: “We have a £14million facility here and it wasn’t just built to be a school; it is intended to serve the community as a whole and that’s what we’re
hoping to do with these sessions.” “To have an 18-year-old sitting next to a 65-year-old, helping each other with everything from spreadsheets to literacy, will be a really wonderful thing.” The free sessions will be open to anyone aged 18 and over, with more information available on the evening. Realise Futures engagement manager, Jamie Mortimer, said: “We are really excited to have the opportunity to meet the local people, have fun in our taster lessons and put together a variety of courses that the community want. “To be able to do this in such a fantastic venue is a real luxury.” The evening will run from 6pm-9pm, with those aged 18 and over welcome. No booking is needed.
