Finalists in Quality Professional Awards

Redbridge Institute is celebrating after being named a finalist in the Quality Professional Awards for Collaborator of the Year

_{This award, sponsored by SDN Mesma Group recognises outstanding partnerships between two or more organisations that have worked together to enhance the quality of education or employment support and delivered exceptional outcomes – with the collaboration demonstrating a shared vision, effective teamwork, and the ability to achieve greater impact together than independently.}

The collaboration between Redbridge Institute and Workers’ Education Association (WEA) aimed to build ESOL capacity in East London by offering space at its Gants Hill campus for the WEA to run ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) courses, empowering individuals and fostering greater community cohesion.

 

“Two organisations with the same founding year came together to solve a very current problem, a long waiting list for English language courses. Honest conversations about who could help whom turned into real places for real people. There’s something fitting about two organisations born from the same mission finding new ways to work together over a century later.”

The recognition highlights the institute’s ongoing efforts to provide accessible and inclusive learning opportunities, support personal and professional development, and help learners achieve their goals.

“Being named finalists for Quality Collaboration of the Year is a testament to the strength of our partnerships. We’re excited to continue working with organisations that help us deliver positive outcomes for learners and the wider community.”
