Classes

The following classes are held at the Bradbury Centre. Many are run in conjunction with Worcester College of Technology and Workers Educational Association.

At the moment we have information technology, cookery and arts and craft classes available. These run during term time at various times throughout the week.

Information Technology

Tuesday 9:45 – 11:45 am and 12:30 – 2.30 pm

Friday 9:15 – 11:15 am and 11:45 – 1:45 pm.

This course is aimed at people with sight loss who want to learn how to use computers.  No previous experience is required as learning is tailored to the individual.  The needs of each prospective student are assessed by a teacher of the visually impaired. 

Most people begin by learning to touch type and then progress to word processing, email and internet.  This includes the use of specialist software when appropriate. 

Students attend one session per week.  Please note: places are limited so we operate a waiting list system.  Please contact the centre if you are interested in joining a computer class.

Cookery

Tuesday 9:30 am – noon.
This course is for those who want to familiarise themselves with equipment and techniques suitable for people with little or no sight. Students choose the meals they wish to cook. The course is aimed at people who want to get more confident in the kitchen and learn how to make some simple meals from scratch. We teach hints and tips on how to get around a kitchen safely and how to make the most of any equipment students would already have in their kitchen.

Art and Craft

We offer various classes for art and crafts in the Centre, please get in touch for details on these.

Transport

In some cases it is possible for Sight Concern to arrange transport to the centre for classes.
