Bright and early I headed off to the Sutton Life Centre. The aim of the centre is to provide young people in Sutton with an unprecedented opportunity to learn a range of skills - such as safety scenarios and stree-awareness - in an interactive environment. The centre is designed to embrace all sectors of the community. The Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, officially opened the centre, which was heaving with VIP guests as well as many members of the community who had helped one way or another with the set up. Jo Fowler, from SCOLA's coffee shop, has set out a splendid spread for breakfast and this gave a great opportunity for networking and an informal chat before the official opening.
It was great to hear the work of Sutton Council being acknowledge by the Deputy Prime Minister and listen to the Leader of the Council - Cllr. Sean Brennan-outlining the plans for the future of the Life Centre. Students and voluntary workers also spoke and shared how they envisaged the centre would add value to the community.
SCOLA is working closely with the Library and Heritage services in order to put a variety of programmes together that can be delivered from libraries across the borough. Watch this space for the exciting programmes we have planned for the Life Centre.
