  Here is some feedback from our previous participants: 

 

‘This course has quite literally changed my life. It has been one of the best things I have ever done. The tutors and the staff who run the course have been so personable and welcoming, inspiring, and encouraging that for the first time ever I have started to believe that my voice is important and has value.’

 

‘I sometimes cannot quite believe I had the chance to be part of this course from which I learned so much. The benefits were not just in terms of improving my writing but also in terms of accepting myself as a writer and the gaining of confidence.’

 

 

Eligibility: To apply you must be unemployed, be eligible to work and live in the UK, be 18 years or older, living in the Liverpool city region (including the areas of Wirral classed as Merseyside), and as the course is taught online through zoom, you will need access to the internet.
