SILK for Derby 8

Derby CVS has secured funding from the Learning and Skills Council for a project called SILK for Derby 8 which, in case you're wondering, stands for Skills, Information, Learning and Knowledge for 8 areas within Derby.

The project runs until the end of March 2004 and will benefit people from or involved with groups based within the eight wards of Alvaston, Boulton, Breadsall, Derwent, Litchurch, Mackworth, Normanton and Osmaston. It aims to offer free, good quality learning sessions to improve skills for people in regenerating communities.

( There is a menu of learning opportunities available - to find out more about how your group can be involved please contact Judy Taylor at CVS on 01332 227727 or email jtaylor@cvsderby.co.uk
