North Lanarkshire Project
What can the project offer me or someone I am working with?
North Lanarkshire Project works with adults over 16, resident in North Lanarkshire, who identify as disabled or a carer, to learn new skills such as literacy or digital skills. We have a great team of volunteers who can support learners one to one. We also offer support to small groups at local accessible community venues. Our services are free, person centred and confidential.
How do I refer myself, a family member or someone I am working with?
You can contact Jan Markwick our local Learning Coordinator via our office on 0131 228 9441 or email northlanarkshire@lead.org.uk with the contact details of the person you wish to refer.

How can I volunteer to support this project?

A great example of learning in the North Lanarkshire area comes from four learners who achieved their Adult Achievement Award at Level 3. The learners met weekly as a group on a Friday afternoon over a period of around four months in a local library and were supported by Lead Scotland to achieve the Award. The learners’ confidence, skills, knowledge and self-esteem increased and two of the learners have now gone onto Level 4.
The Adult Achievement Awards give you the opportunity to gain a National Certificate for learning you have undertaken, or are currently involved with, or would like to undertake in a variety of places such as work, at home or in a volunteer role.
The Awards are available at SCQF Levels: 2, 3, 4 and 6. There are no entry requirements for the awards and they are free to undertake.
