The Talk English team were delighted to be awarded the TES FE Award for Contribution to the Local Community at a prestigious awards ceremony in London on Friday 24th February 2017.

The award recognises the great success of the Talk English project, which has been funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government since January 2014. Elena Jones, Kate Lloyd and Lisa Robinson from the Talk English Manchester team attended the event, which was hosted by comedian Rob Beckett.

The judges said the initiative was “topical”, and praised its focus on promoting cohesion and supporting communities.

The award recognises and rewards the work of the Talk English Manchester staff, volunteers and community partners who have supported more than 1500 Manchester residents to improve their English language skills.

Congratulations to all our staff, volunteers and partners- thank you for all that you do to improve the lives and skills of people in Manchester.
