Edinburgh Adult Learners Achievement Award

Donated by Cathy Ahmed – on behalf of Muirhouse Women’s Group

‘Muirhouse Women’s Group haven’t exactly been lacking in causes since they set up almost three years ago.  The enthusiastic band first came to the NEN’s attention when they composed and fired off a letter about poverty to the Prime Minister last year, and it seems they’re never stopped since!  The group’s come a long way, and their dedication was rewarded when they received The Edinburgh Adult Education Award for Outstanding Achievement during Adult Learners Week.’

‘This is a really brilliant group to be part of.  I can’t really describe how it’s changed things for me – I’ve got an awful lot more confidence and I’ve done things I would never have attempted before, and that’s the same for a lot of the other women as well.  We all support each other and have a great laugh when we’re together – we’re different characters and different ages but there are a lot of things we agree on and we have a lot in common too.  I couldn’t imagine what it would be like without the group – I think we’ve got lots more to do.’
