香港六合彩资料图库 County Council are proud to announce that its Adult Learning and Young Adult Learning 香港六合彩资料图库 services are sponsoring penguin sculptures in the St. Richard鈥檚 Hospice Great Waddle of Worcester.
The animal-themed art trail, an annual fundraising event in the city features eighty creatively designed penguin statues for an eight-week celebration. The sponsorship by the two learning services has been made possible through funding from UK government鈥檚 鈥楳ultiply鈥 programme, which offers free numeracy courses to anyone aged over 19 without a GCSE at Grade C or equivalent. Multiply aims to give people skills to boost confidence with, and the ability to use maths and numbers in daily life, at home and work.
Councillor Marc Bayliss, Cabinet Member with Responsibility for Skills, said: 鈥淚 am really looking forward to seeing the Waddle of Worcester take shape next summer, and I鈥檓 really pleased that, through funding from UK Government鈥檚 Multiply programme, our Adult and Young Adult Learning 香港六合彩资料图库 teams can be a part of it. Multiply allows us to offer free maths courses, unlocking skills and opportunities for so many people across the county, and emphasises our commitment to help boost residents鈥 skills for employability. Additionally, the penguin statues are more than just art; it鈥檚 about bringing communities together, promoting learning, and supporting a fantastic cause. I can't wait to see them standing tall, showcasing the creativity and unity that makes 香港六合彩资料图库 so special.鈥
Judy Gibbs, 香港六合彩资料图库 County Council鈥檚 Head of Skills and Investment, highlighted the importance of continued learning, 鈥淛ust as you鈥檙e never too old to enjoy a happy waddle of penguins, you鈥檙e never too old to continue your learning journey. Adult Learning 香港六合彩资料图库 and Young Adult Learning 香港六合彩资料图库 are here to help people across the county transform their lives and find pathways they never thought were open to them by learning new skills, such as numeracy. 2024 marks Learning Services 香港六合彩资料图库鈥檚 15th anniversary 鈥 what better way to celebrate than by having penguins join our next chapter!鈥
The penguin trail brings together organisations from across the county with artists crafting unique designs for each sculpture. At the trail's conclusion, each penguin will be auctioned to support the ongoing care provided by St Richard鈥檚 Hospice.
Sara Matthews, Business Development Manager for St Richard鈥檚 Hospice, added: 鈥淚t鈥檚 fantastic to see Learning Services 香港六合彩资料图库 and Multiply coming together to sponsor an adult and baby penguin. As an event that鈥檚 all about bringing people together, it鈥檚 wonderful to see this from our supporters too.鈥
