The following is correspondence from Pauline Kersten, Manager of the Conway Education Centre in West Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The GCSE students are in the middle of their exams at the moment, with the last Mathematics exam having taken place on the 11th of June. The results will not be known until mid-August, so it’s a bit of a wait for them!
With regards to our own funding, we are still unsure. Our current contract for our core costs finishes in March 2011 and we are currently conducting a review of all our services and examining different options for improvement. The review will contribute to the development of Conway Education Centre’s strategic development plan 2010 – 2015.
Because we will be in competition with other organizations in the voluntary sector to obtain core funding, we need to ensure that the organization and its services are the best that it can be, that we know where we want to be in 5 years time and that we have support and a sound strategy in place to get there.
A busy couple of months are coming up, but it’s exciting as well. Please give our regards to all our friends and supporters in Conway Mill Trust.
Pauline
