March Highlights
March was a month of renewal and expansion at the Learning Exchange, shaped by the recent callouts for volunteer tutors and the development of our new prospectus. We welcomed new tutors, introduced fresh courses, and saw familiar tutors return with new ideas and offerings.

Learning and Development
Although the Changing Futures programme has now ended, the Learning Exchange is fortunate to continue operating through a new funding source.
This term, the team reviewed and refined several structural processes, including collecting feedback throughout courses and adjusting the way reminders are sent. These changes have been effective and will continue into the next term.
Participation and Reach
A total of 292 students attended courses in March – a strong indicator of ongoing engagement and interest across the programme.
Community Events
On 2 April, we held our End‑of‑Term Party, bringing together learners, tutors, and visitors for an afternoon of music, games, art, and shared food. Guests contributed feedback and took part in an interactive display charting which courses they had attended over the past four years – a lovely reflection of the depth and longevity of our community.
Enrolment Day for the new term is scheduled for 22 April, 11am–3pm.
