LEARNING has taken on a new dimension at the Hawthorn Centre, Padgate, after a group of learners with learning disabilities and difficulties moved into the centre on a permanent basis.

The group now operates from the centre five days a week and covers a diverse range of subjects.

Last week MP for Warrington North Helen Jones dropped in on the group to take a look at their new working environment.

Manager of the centre Mike Hannon said: "Helen was very complimentary about the work the group is doing. We are really pleased to welcome them here and hope we can continue to provide the learners with a permanent home."
