Designed and decorated by our learners and our super tutor Steph, you can now see our penguin in Worcester City.

It's called 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗿 𝗬𝗔𝗟 "𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗵-𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗮" and promotes numeracy and mathematics. It's at Worcester Furniture in the Cornmarket! Pop along and see them, and come back here for a competition on Weds 31 July ;)

We are so excited to welcome our newest addition to Young Adult Learning Worcestershire!!!

We don't mean YAL Stevie (on the right), we mean our penguin chick (left) from the St Richard's Hospice Waddle of Worcester!

They arrived this week for our students to decorate, ahead of this summer's art trail through Worcester. We've nicknamed them '𝘾𝙧𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙡' (as it's our 15th anniversary year) but we'd love to hear your suggestions 🐧

Today (8 March) is and one of our learners has sent us this...not going to lie, we're a bit emotional:

"Happy International Women’s Day, I want to thank you for all you have done for me and to let you know I appreciate everything you do for me. I just wanted you to know you have a positive impact on my life"
