Red Balloon Learner Centre - Cambridge

16/06/2026

Our wonderful trustee Ellie, and her friend Emma are doing a crazy cycling event to raise funds for us to buy a minibus for college visits, sports activities, and work experience, as well as so many other things.

Have a look at her page, and drop her a quid or two if you have some kicking around. She’d very much appreciate it! Those hills ain’t climbing themselves…

We aren’t able to take part in the yard sale directly this year, but the very lovely Nicola is selling some things on our behalf alongside her own stall on Old School Lane. Pop along and say hi!

Double the Balloon, double the fun! We are looking to recruit not one but TWO lovely people, to join us at our centre in Milton from September: one to *teach English* with our wonderful/bubbly/distractible/squirrel!/creative students, and another to be our *Exams Officer* to help prove that the English teaching (and all the other teaching) has actually gone in.
If this sounds like you, or if you know someone else who might be up for finding out more, please do follow the links to the job specs below and share them with others. We try to be genuinely nice people, and we want to find more genuinely nice people to complete our team

We had probably the greatest chat message exchange ever with Milton Country Park earlier today. (We didn’t mention that the students also call the storage container “the Co**se Box”. That’s a story for another time). Thank you for going to check for any lost animals / spirits from another dimension. You are wonderful!
