Born out of Thatcham Vision, Thatcham’s Lifelong Learning Forum was established with three main aims:
- to ensure that everybody in Thatcham has the chance to know what learning opportunities exist for them in the town,
- to generally improve the provision of local lifelong learning opportunities,
- to give providers of learning opportunities place and space for publicising their work.
The Forum has prepared a small directory of learning providers - they are currently preparing their second edition which will shortly appear on their website www.thatchamllf.org.uk and also in hard copy. It contains information of over forty providers in the Thatcham area. They are aware of many more and will incorporate them, subject to receiving permission for inclusion in their publicity.
Last May they held a lifelong learning celebration on Thatcham’s Broadway Green at which a number of organisations produced displays and provided information about the opportunities that they provide. This year the celebrations are to be held on Saturday 14th June - at the start of this year’s national festival.
The Forum consists of representatives of some of these learning organisations - both state providers and voluntary organisations, with the support of the Thatcham Vision Project Manager, who are dedicated to make these opportunities more widely known. Each year at the Volunteer Festival they seek to extend the number of volunteers so that they can be even more efficient in what they do.
