Welcome to the WEA Leeds Branch Web-Site

The Workers Educational Association has been in existence for over a 100 years and was originally formed to help the workers in mills and factories who felt that they had missed out on education. Today the WEA caters for learners in all walks of life, from teenagers who feel they need help with basic skills, or vocational training, or foreign students who wish to learn English. We are there for the housewife who wants to meet people and make friends in a stimulating and friendly atmosphere, or for the recently retired who have always looked forward to studying a subject that has interested them.

As well as the weekly courses the Leeds Branch organises Saturday Day Schools and Weekend Residential courses in which we study a particular subject in depth. These are most enjoyable and well supported.

I hope that you will find in the courses advertised something that appeals to you. Enrol, make friends and have fun in your learning
