JanineSusan Coan at Leeds Beckett University School of Health has put together some excellent learning courses taking place between 8th March and 29th March. These are a taste of university to raise aspirations and promote inclusion, with no pressure to apply afterwards.
These cover a range of issues from obesity (in the clinical sense), childhood development, and public health – all very important subjects in this ever-developing modern world. There’s also a session looking at the practicalities of the university experience.
These are all free, including a certificate, refreshments, and if needed a one-day bus ticket for each of the courses. If you’re interested, reach out to community@leedsbeckett.ac.uk.
Support independent community journalism!
East Side Story covers the people, places and stories in Leeds that are too often overlooked. While national headlines chase conflict and clickbait, we focus on real communities and the issues shaping daily life in East Leeds.
Divisive content, AI noise and online rumours spread faster than ever. At the same time, many mainstream outlets are stretched and rarely spotlight the community organisations and local champions who deserve recognition.
East Side Story was created to change that. We answer only to our readers. We have no corporate owners or billionaire funders. Our journalists report freely, ask difficult questions and hold power to account.
Your support helps us keep this work going. Monthly contributions make the biggest impact because they allow us to invest in deeper reporting and fearless local journalism.
Supporters also receive exclusive updates, behind the scenes insights and other benefits as a thank you for keeping independent journalism alive.
