The WEA works across the two counties, with a Study Centre in Worcester. The Centre is staffed by Penny Watkins, the Study Centre Support Worker, Jan Hall and Meg Hughes, Programme Area Managers. Someone is available to answer calls or meet learners at the Study Centre Monday to Friday 9.30am till 1pm or other times by arrangement.

Courses are run in the Study Centre as well as a variety of community venues, often in partnership with other organisations. So we try and bring adult education to your door. The classes are always friendly and welcoming, with learners supported by tutors, volunteers and fellow learners.

We are always keen to hear from potential partners, who want us to organise courses for or with them. So if your organisation is interested in running courses with us, please get in touch with Jan or Meg to discuss the possibilities.
