“We believe that this course will help such people to communicate better with English people and integrate into the host community better.

“We hope to follow this course with more advanced courses in English and in British citizenship. All will be welcome from all backgrounds.

“We have been fortunate to obtain support for the course from Surestart, which means that it will be free of charge.”

The course starts at 5.30pm. For further information ring 01754 810393.
