Questions and Answers:

What have we achieved as a group?

LARRY: Gained more confidence.

ELLY: We have gained trust in each other and that has helped us to feel comfortable in speaking to each other.

A feeling of achievement seeing what we've put together.

LOTTIE: As a group we have worked together. We all put our thoughts down on paper, then we sit and discuss it. To me working in a group you meet good friends and you know they are just like you, wanting to learn.

What obstacles have we faced? How have we overcome them?

LARRY: Nerves. Getting to trust others.

ELLY: Shyness. Lack of confidence.  By coming consistently to the group and enjoying the company of people who feel the same.

LOTTIE: Facing up to it -THAT I NEED HELP. Once I got to it they made me feel at home. I hid it for a long time, I thought I could get by. PLEASE HELP and I got it.

 What have we gained learning together?

LOTTIE: It has made me come out of the cupboard.

ELLY: My conversation skills have improved.

 

Have we been able to use our experience to help other people?

LOTTIE: I have two grandsons at school so I came to learn where I could help them with reading and writing. As a group we hope our website will help others who have the same problems.

KATH: Doing  work at the school, working with children and interacting with teachers and staff.

 What are our plans for the Future?

LOTTIE: To keep learning and get a lot better.
