Star Pupils: Talented Saturday School Students Shine Bright  

Two students of ELBWO's Saturday School worked hard to achieve magnificent results for their GCSE's.  Beverly Akom and Natalie Nkansha started the Saturday School in Year 5 and were able to benefit from the tutoring of our skilled teachers especially, according to Beverley, the support of Eva Dalgety who co-ordinates the school, and teaches science and maths.  "Eva helped tremendously," said Beverley, "for science I was predicted a grade C, but went on to achieve an A."  Beverley's exceedingly good grades included 4As, and 6Bs, she enjoys maths and science.  Natalie who also attended the Saturday School gained 2A*s, 4As, and 6Bs.  Natalie told us that the Saturday School enabled her to gain confidence and helped her to achieve her potential.  Both Beverley and Natalie returned as volunteers working alongside the teachers in the Saturday School.  They are continuing their studies with the hope of successfully attaining their A levels and then going on to University.  The Saturday School welcomes the contribution these two young students are making to the project. 

Domestic Violence & Mental Health Seminar

ELBWO continues its campaign to address issues of Domestic Abuse, and has been staging a series of workshops.  The  seminar on Domestic Violence and Mental Health was held on the 15 May 2006  at the Stratford Advice Arcade.  Open to both professionals and the general public the workshop focused on the connection between domestic violence and mental health.  The talk was given by Forest Counselling and generated a lively discussion.  We would like to say thank you to all those that attended.
