workers' educational association
The WEA is a leading education charity with a legacy that stretches back over
115 years. We empower adults by bringing great teaching to local communities
across England and Scotland, reaching tens of thousands of students each year.
We believe every adult should have access to education and its benefits right on
their doorstep. Currently, the opportunity for a better future is too often made
inaccessible for reasons including cost, location and a lack of information. We
are committed to removing any barriers so that individuals can improve their own
life chances and have a positive impact on their communities and society as a
whole. We’re different from further education colleges, because we reach and
connect with those who need education most and who are often farthest from
study.
