First Aid for the Under Fives
A group of parents from Elgin Loose Ends identified in their Individual Learning Plans that they wished to develop their skills in this subject matter but did not have the confidence to attend existing First Aid courses.  This course was delivered in partnership with CLD (Adult Team) and a local health visitor in a way that was appropriate to the learning needs of this group.  Everyone successfully completed both the knowledge and practical elements of this course and reported an increase in their confidence when dealing with first aid emergencies with their children.

Loose Ends - Open Doors
As part of adult learners week Elgin Loose Ends held an open doors session.  A number of local professionals and members of the public came along and were supported to find out more about this adult learning initiative and to see first hand how it operates.

Elgin Adult Learners Annual Yearbook/DVD
The second yearbook has been published and is in the process of being distributed to learners and professionals.  The book details both individual and group achievements of those adult learners who participated in the many CLD (Adult Team) groups/projects within Elgin.  Learners have indicated the importance of sharing their success and achievements with others.

Family Messy Time
Two very successful and well attended Family Messy Time sessions were held during the summer holidays.  These were designed by CLD Adult Team in response to feedback from families in the Pinefield area which highlighted the lack of affordable and accessible family activities within their community.  Whilst the hook was family arts and crafts CLD staff and partners provided support to the parents to meaningfully engage with their children throughout the sessions.  This parenting support was well received by the many families - with this in mind family art packs were created to allow the families to continue with this family learning experience.
