The Literacy Project at GWL
We offer free literacy and numeracy provision to any woman who can identify areas in which they want to improve their confidence, skills, knowledge and understanding in reading, writing, spelling or number-work.
We offer learning on a one-to-one basis within a group setting, with female tutors, in a welcoming, women-only learning environment.
We offer guidance to encourage learners to make informed choices about their learning, developing a personalised learning plan that is practical and relevant to women’s lives.
In addition to our one-to-one tuition, we also facilitate group learning that increases women’s knowledge of how they can continue their personal development.
Progression Routes
As women gain the confidence to progress, we work with Further Education providers to ease the transition into accredited courses.
We are able to support women to work towards Core Skill qualifications at SCQF Levels 2 & 3.
