Ace Cardiff

Near the end of 2009, Gerry was approached by parents in Butetown who wanted ACE to help their children with their school work. In February 2010 The Learning Club was opened with 8 children. Since then, over 400 children, aged 7 – 16 years, have registered with the club for help with a range of subjects. Working with the children at The Learning Club, it was observed that many of the parents were not native English speakers and some had difficulty communicating their views of the provision. From this arose the idea of organising ESOL sessions for parents to not only help them with interactions relating to their child’s education, but also allow them to better integrate into the local community and access local services more easily.
