Learning Links (Southern) Ltd.

Learning Links is an educational charity that works across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, encouraging groups and individuals to participate in learning.

We are pro-active in identifying community needs and experienced in supporting community and organisational development. Our approach to lifelong learning provides opportunities in accessible locations for people who would not otherwise access learning through a mainstream provider. We act as an information broker, adapting to the needs of different communities. Our commitment to high-quality service helps learners to develop their aspirations, expectations and motivation. Our learning projects have been instrumental in developing skills across the region and tackling some of the root causes of social exclusion and isolation.

By addressing learning needs at both the individual and community level, our aim is to enable people to play a greater part in the economic and social regeneration of their neighbourhood. Learning Links is committed to inspiring learners and offering an environment of inclusion to maximise participation. Our first rung learning opportunities have included community research, learning champions, music, arts, gardening and ICT courses and projects. Across these projects we work hard to support under-represented groups.

Learning Links is also able to offer FREE Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) sessions to individuals and groups across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
