Learn for Life Enterprise

Learn for Life Enterprise www.learnforlifeenterprise.org We offer a variety of courses and classes available to the whole city. They have every intention of changing the world.

We look after vulnerable and hard-to-reach members of the community, local residents, refugees, asylum seekers, BME communities and older people promoting and maintaining cohesion and integration. We are based in Sharrow but also teach classes citywide in areas such as: Broomhall, the City Centre, Netherthorpe, Tinsley, Burngreave and Abbeydale.

“They are quite a unique organisation in that they

have a clear philosophy of approach that embraces all individuals and communities, irrespective of their starting point. This is vital when working in diverse communities such as Sheffield. Through this ethos they have enabled individuals to share experiences, learn together and contribute to improving community cohesion which is vital in today’s society.”

– Shabaz Abbas, Community Learning Organiser, Sheffield City Council


“I found it a most inspiring place, giving help and education to many people of many different backgrounds.”

– Clive Betts, MP for Sheffield South East


“They are an organisation that is highly motivated and passionate about everything they do, and go to any lengths to help and support people who need it most.”

– Margaret Ward, Sub-Contracting Coordinator, The Sheffield College


“We have been consistently impressed with the organisation’s leaders’ in-depth understanding and knowledge in relation to adult learning within and beyond the boundaries of Sheffield – and on many occasions have sought their advice. In our experience the organisation delivers whatever it promises to deliver – all with humour, good common sense and compassion.”

– Louise Ritchie, Adult & Community Learning Widening Participation Officer, The University of Sheffield


“We take every opportunity we can to offer collegiate support to this fabulous organisation, who offer a lifeline on a shoestring to people who arrive in Sheffield from all corners of the world, often but not always traumatised, needing a warm and safe space in which to learn the language of their new country. I never know how Hayley and her team manage to offer so much humanity, on so little funds. I suspect that the boundless energy of the co-ordinating team have something to do with it, although they exude love, their determination and focus is steely. There is no waste at Learn for Life, not a single teabag. Resources are eked out and used to encourage and develop the confidence of individuals to engage and contribute effectively as citizens in the UK.”

– Louise Mycroft, Teacher Education and CPD, Northern College

This week we went on a walk and talk around Sharrow. We saw the house where Charles Dickens stayed when he visited Sheffield in the 19th Century. We also saw Grade 2 listed buildings that have now been converted into multiple occupational housing.

Last week we walked and talked to look at the mural hiding round the corner!
