Creative English for Health
FaithAction have recently been awarded funding by Birmingham City Council to deliver our community-based ESOL programme, Creative English, with places of worship, faith-based and community organisations within Birmingham.
Laugh your way to confident English
Designed using Dr Anne Smith’s PhD research into belonging, Creative English helps learners build confidence in spoken English whilst making friends, improving their wellbeing, and reducing social isolation amongst communities typically considered hard to reach. The programme equips people with the skills to empower them in their everyday life, built around various relevants themes, such as going shopping, talking with teachers, and visiting the doctor.
A new need
Following the pandemic, the public health department of Birmingham City Council recognised that there was a need for better messaging and access to healthcare within certain communities. In response to this, we crafted a new form of Creative English specifically designed to respond to this issue.
Delivering the programme
Organisations chosen to deliver the programme will receive a funding of up to £5,000 to support delivery, training for their volunteers to deliver the course in targeted areas until March 2023, along with a resource kit full of materials to use in sessions.
Please note there are only limited spaces available on the programme at this time.
