What's On Learningwise

The Patch Project

The PATCH project is aimed at engaging with anyone in the Rhondda Cynon Taff area who has a physical health condition (which has a limiting effect on their lives). The project is currently running in 3 centres throughout the district

· The YMCA in Pontypridd between 10-3 every Monday

· Providence Church in Ystrad between 10-3 every Tuesday

· The Feel Good Factory, Ynysboeth between 10-3 every Thursday

Some of the activities on offer include: Independent living skills (for example cookery, healthy eating, money advice), just for fun courses (such as art and craft and flower arranging) adult learning courses (including basic skills, computers, food hygiene, first aid and sign language) as well as help to find volunteering placements in the local community and suitable employment opportunities.

To take part in the project participants must reside in the Rhondda Cynon Taff area, be between the ages of 16-65, have a physical health condition and be economically inactive (or working less than 16 hours per week)
