Education Training Consortium Sussex
Formed in 2008 by four small voluntary groups/charities based in Hastings Town Centre who have come together to enable us to deliver training and education to their client groups. These include: refugees, asylum seekers, immigrants,job seekers, recovering drug users, homeless people and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. We run a UK Online Centre at the 'b@sement', which provides computer clubs for specific groups and open access computer use. We run regular workshops & courses in basic IT skills. Other activities can include a gardening club and English lessons. These vary from time to time.

We provide a Dementia Day Service which offers activities for people with dementia.
The Pantry based in Dorset Place offers a membership scheme providing access to subsidised food and social activities. Open to people on low incomes.
