Active Volunteers
"My journey with ELSH began in 2019 as a volunteer supporting asylum seekers, refugees, and EU migrants. Since gaining TEFL certification and becoming a part-time Lead ESOL teacher, she has helped develop structured lessons, life skills, and employment support, empowering learners to integrate and succeed in Barnsley."
“As a dedicated Barnsley resident for over a decade, Anna Goryca’s journey with ELSH began after a serious accident in 2014. She started as a student at the Worsborough Community Centre and then became a volunteer, gaining invaluable experience and connections. Despite finding full-time employment, Anna remained committed to ELSH. Volunteering enhanced her self-confidence and English skills, crucial for her career. Her passion for helping others led her to train new staff and hone her coaching skills. Returning as a teacher’s assistant, Anna is committed to contributing positively as a Volunteer Trustee Board Member, embodying the spirit of giving back and inspiring positive change.”
“For me personally, ELSH feels like a second home, a place where I am always welcomed with warmth and kindness. It is a joy to return here, as the atmosphere is both nice and fun. Every visit brings new discoveries and opportunities for personal growth. I am especially grateful to the manager of this institution, who consistently believes in me, supports my endeavours, and encourages me to stay positive. This unwavering support has been instrumental in my journey, making ELSH not just an educational hub but a place where I feel valued and inspired. The sense of community and the genuine care I receive here make ELSH an indispensable part of my life.”
