A PREVIOUS award winner has been singing the praises of Warrington adult learners’ week as the event runs again this year from May 18 to 24.

Emma Sweeney, who lives in Chapelford, followed the ‘Beaming with confidence’ programme and received four offers for university places.

The teenager is now also volunteering at the YMCA and said she ‘never dreamt adult learning could have such an effect on her’.
