Training at Stonehouse Creek, Plymouth

I’m Rosanna Eveleigh, the Quality Assurance Coordinator at Shekinah since August 2019, and I recently began running Re:skill, a Basic English and Maths support group.  My love of lifelong learning keeps me interested in helping people have lightbulb moments and progress in their skills and knowledge.  In 2006 I took my CertEd in Teaching Numeracy to Adults and have worked in adult education ever since, from Skills for Life to GCSE.  I love spending time in nature, exploring Devon and Cornwall’s hidden gems; wild swimming, being with good company and walking in the woods help make my soul sing.

Hi my name is Jon and do all things Admin within the training team. My first time at shekinah was attending the revive course and then it took off from there. volunteered by assisting on the redevelopment course and then was offered on a role on the team and now I’m officially shekinahed. My hobbies include exercise, sport and playing the guitar.

“I have over 30 years of experience in Carpentry and Joinery, starting with work experience before my apprenticeship and college education. I first learned about Shekinah through Hamoaze House while attending a Spoon Carving course with the Learning Exchange. When I expressed an interest in teaching woodwork, a position opened up that allowed me to gain experience and practice as an instructor. It has been a pleasure to share my skills with new learners, who have all been fantastic—so far, so good, touch wood! With the new Shekinah, I’m looking forward to an exciting 2025.”
