We're winners!

A joint venture between The Learning Shop and Turning Point Scotland has been recognised at the Adult Learning Impact Awards 2015.

Turning Point Scotland opened a gift shop, Rosie's Retro, in the Kyle Centre just before Christmas to provide work experience and retail training to some of their service users. These are adults with learning difficulties and The Learning Shop team were asked to provide literacy and numeracy support to enable these learners to make the most of their training.



Gail provided weekly workshops to this group of learners, developing the communication and numeracy skills needed for retail work. All members of the group are now happy, confident workers within Rosie's Retro.

We were invited to the Scottish Parliament building in Edinburgh for the awards ceremony where we were presented with the Innovation Award. Everyone involved with the group is delighted with their achievement!
