CLAF is a vital part of the Inspiring Communities initiative. It will help find ways for members of the community to work together on creating a shared understanding of the meaning and value of lifelong learning. CLAF is co-ordinated by Cumbria CVS from their Hartington Street office in Barrow in Furness.

Some of the activities that CLAF is already supporting include Community Learning Champions, Approaching Learning with Confidence and Learning Circles.

Community Champions!

NHS Cumbria, Cumbria CVS and Cumbria Local Involvement Network are working together to support and train Community Champion Volunteers in Cumbria.

What are Community Champions?

They are local people who care about the health of their community and of those around them. They are volunteers who work a few hours a week either on a one-to-one basis with individuals or with groups who want to improve their health – educating, encouraging, supporting and mentoring.

We are holding an information session on 27 April 2010 for you to find out more about Community Champions.

When & Where?

• Tuesday 27th April at Hindpool Community Centre, Nelson St, Barrow

The session begins at 10 am and ends with lunch at 12:30 pm

Come along and find out more about how you can make a difference.
