Funding Page Goes Live

We have set up a Crowdfunder page, which allows us to match all contributions with other funding to support our work. Please let others know about this page as it is important to us to raise money to continue our courses.

Refugee Week 2021

For this year’s Refugee Week we would like to invite you to take part in #wecannotwalkalone.

Friday 18th June – 1,30 – 3.30

Refugee Week is a UK-wide festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary.

For our drop-in this Friday we will talk about our favourite walks/journeys. We will share our photos and go on a virtual walk together. We’ll also play some games.

If you have a picture of one of your favourite walks that you’d like to show or tell us about, please email it to us at: info@englishforall.uk.

Open to all.

We look forward to seeing you.

Volunteering Opportunity

Are you looking for a volunteering opportunity that will be personally rewarding?

English For All is a small education charity specialising in teaching English to asylum seekers and refugees. It is led by a group of specialist teachers who have had a lifetime experience of working successfully in this key field of education.

Currently we are teaching and developing online courses that respond to the varied needs of our students who mostly live in the North East.

We would welcome enthusiastic individuals who are keen to join us in our commitment to  supporting our students with their learning.

If you have a spare couple of hours each week, we would love to hear from you.

For those volunteers wishing to develop skills in this field, we can offer one-to-one upskilling, whether preparing for a PGCE course or teaching English in another country.  You may be pursuing qualifications or returning to employment after a career break or trying to juggle other commitments. With us you will find a welcoming atmosphere coupled with intellectual rigour.

Are you ready for a rewarding experience?

In the first instance, please email your interest to: info@englishforall.uk

We look forward to hearing from you.
