LWTT has celebrated the success of its latest class to graduate. Our recent graduates have all successfully been awarded the Bachelor of Community Learning and Development by the University of Glasgow. LWTT in partnership with SCVO developed this innovative work-based professional training programme to target unqualified black and minority ethnic staff in white led voluntary organisations.
“The
Community learning and development course I have undertaken via linked work and
training has been one of the most positive choices of my life.
Being educated in an environment where support from the tutors, and staff at
LWTT was key to my learning has provided me with the necessary tools required to
be a productive community worker.
Over the past three years I have seen my own confidence reach high levels, this has enabled me to challenge some of the issues communities face on a day to day basis constructively.
Most importantly this course has opened up doors for me which without the degree would never have been open. I feel I have been educated in how to learn..and change for the better”.

Belgian delegates/ students and invited guests visiting Lionthorn Community Woodland
In partnership with Scottish Community Development Centre (SCDC), we welcomed a delegation of 27 Belgians to Forth Valley made up of both Directors and staff from a regional community development organisation called RIMO based in Limburg. They came on a study visit and spent some time in Glasgow with some housing associations, SCDC and the Poverty Alliance but came through for a day to see the type of community development organisations and work that we are involved in. Once the welcome and introductions were over, we gave them an introduction to the LWTT model and sent them on their way to visit a whole variety of regeneration projects and initiatives across the valley.
The group were interested in regeneration across both urban and rural settings and in coalfield areas as Limburg is a former mining area that has experienced similar problems to that of communities in Scotland.
Stef Vandebroek, Director of Rimo who was part of the delegation that visited Alloa had this to say:
“We have enjoyed our visit to Alloa and learned a great deal as to how you are tackling similar problems to those we face in Limburgh”
