English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) is designed to help people learn or improve their ability to speak or write English. We have a number of different options available depending upon your ability. We are working with Shipley College which allows students to gain accredited qualifications in ESOL.

Basic Skills Pre-Entry, Entry Level 1 , 2 and 3 and now Level 1
Building Confidence in Speaking English
English Workshop

It is really important to attend every class. Please do not make appointments when you have a class. If you prioritise your ESOL classes you will make good progress and then you will be able to communicate more easily, which will help you day to day. We have long waiting lists for classes and therefore if you do not attend, your place will be given to someone else.

Computer Skills

Stu Bayford — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 14:20:08 +0000

These classes are great for those wishing to gain more computer skills for anything from getting your own email address to internet shopping! One important need for computer skills is for Universal Credit which will be administered online. Everyone on benefits will need to know how to use a computer so we are offering basic classes to help with this. We are now working with Bradford College to deliver these courses which means that we can offer students the chance to gain accredited qualifications.

We are constantly striving to offer a mix of regular activities, such as a hot meals, transport, knitting and snacks, along with an imaginative programme which stimulates, challenges, informs, and introduces new experiences. The attendees have identified needs that we aim to meet, such as intergenerational projects with our in-house nursery and holiday playschemes, curling, exercise, and talks from various local services. The older people who attend value the social interaction which contributes to the support some need in order to continue living independently.
