Gwynneth Morgan Centre, here we come…

…But in the meantime, it would be great to see you learning online

For those of you who are familiar with the work of Lifelong Learning you will know that we were based at the Professional Centre in Franciscan Road, Tooting, for just over 26 years!

While anticipating lockdown, we were also packing crates at Franciscan Road in preparation for our move to the Gwynneth Morgan Centre in East Hill. The Leonard Cheshire charity run a resource centre on the ground floor of the building and we are thinking creatively about how we share the space them and how we can build as much flexibility as possible into our new training spaces.

In partnership with a number of providers we will continue to deliver learning from multiple sites across the borough, but our new home will be:

Gwynneth Morgan Resource Centre
52 East Hill
London
SW18 2HJ
