Learners, their tutors and volunteers have been recognised for their achievements and commitment to adult learning in Sandwell. Sandwell Adult and Family Learning (SAFL) hosted an awards ceremony at the Travellers Inn in Oldbury on Saturday 16 July where dozens of awards were handed out to people achieving above and beyond. Nominations for the awards were received from both tutors and learners with winners decided by Sandwell Adult and Family management.
Winners were congratulated by both the Mayor of Sandwell, Councillor Julie Webb and Councillor Simon Hackett, cabinet member for children's services who also has responsibilities for adult learning in Sandwell. He said: "The winners of these awards have shown outstanding qualities and commitment to adult learning in Sandwell. I have also come back to learning as an adult so I really appreciate how much dedication and effort goes into both learning and tutoring.
"I want to congratulate everyone who got an award and hope this will encourage others to look into the benefits of adult learning."
