Happy Friday! A lovely quote from a learner this week about the qualifications you can do with Lead ⭐ 'Doing the CALA (Community Engagement and Leadership Award) and then the AAA (Adult Achievement Award) was one of the best things I have ever done.'
Don't measure the power of a community by the capacity of its leaders, but by the depth of its associational life & how they welcome the stranger. Indeed, when you find such depth and welcome, treasure it; don’t measure it. #ABCD

Happy Friday! Let's hear from a learner talking about a fantastic volunteer who supported them 🙂
'I didn’t think I would be able to do this without someone next to me, showing me what to do, but I did it. You were very patient, I can’t believe it, I did it.'
Happy Friday! Each week we post a quote from our projects. This week we hear from a volunteer 💬
'It has helped me personally, it has been extremely rewarding and it has provided a real springboard for me into employment and a new industry.'
