Hi Isabel Yes, it is DCLG Regards Sarah From: Isabel Arnold [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 06 November, 2016 8:33 PM To: Sarah Cremer Subject: Re: paid conversation club facilitator opportunities in Redbridge, London Dear Sarah I was interested to read about your English Language practice clubs specifically for women with low levels of English. I am a volunteer ESOL teacher (having retired) in some community venues in Bradford, West Yorks. English conversation is something I focus on with women at low levels of English. The venues of course would appreciate some funding, so I would be interested to hear about any appropriate funding information. Your project is not part of the DCLG funding projects is it?
