The 16-24 Literacy Project offers a range of provision for young people aged up to 24 years old who would like to improve their reading, writing, spelling or number skills. 16-24 has different groups on offer each week and also a team of qualified tutors who work one to one with young people on their literacy/numeracy skills. There is also the opportunity to work towards qualifications or awards and support for moving on to college, training or work.
