Who we are:

Heart and Parcel work with people learning English to recognise, celebrate and develop their existing rich skills and knowledge, so they can communicate confidently and live fulfilling lives.  

We do this by supporting learners to flourish in their local communities and forge connections by developing English language and communication skills through the medium of food… mainly dumplings!

What are we looking for?

This role would be perfect for anyone wanting to work with the community in creative methods, or who has an interest in creative writing, poetry or nature. All are welcome to get in touch as well outside of these interests! 

Learn English, walk in nature together and write your own stories and poems. 3 hour monthly group sessions with Poet, teacher and illustrator Rebecca Hurst and volunteers. ALL LEVELS WELCOME.

What would you be doing as a volunteer?

New monthly ESOL writing & nature classes starting in September 2024 in Gorton
