Helping the most vulnerable

At the WEA we have a special mission to help those who need it most in the country.

We work closely with voluntary and community organisations that help refugees to give people the best start in this country.

We offer free courses for refugees and displaced people, both online and in the classroom.   

From offering ESOL courses for refugees to family learning that improves well-being. Talk to us about what classes we can offer to meet the needs of the people you are supporting.    

Our adult education classes can help improve mental health, build a new life in the UK and improve English skills.

We offer courses to help people develop the language skills and qualifications to work in the UK.

If you wish to discuss your needs further, complete the webform below and one of our partnerships team will be back in touch.

Some of the courses that we’ve delivered for refugee organisations include:   

  • ESOL courses to build language skills   
  • Life in the UK   
  • Arts, craft and music classes for wellbeing   
  • Family fitness and cookery classes   
  • Supporting children’s education in the UK   
  • Mental health and stress awareness   
  • Working in the UK and employability courses   
  • Level 1 Award in Workers' Rights and Labour Exploitation  

Whether you’re looking for courses that offer practical support, or courses that provide social opportunities, we want to work in partnership with you. 

The above courses are just examples: we can tailor our curriculum to suit your needs and those of your learners.

Together, we can make a real difference.
