Independent Life Skills course is offered by Surrey Adult Learning
Every day we have countless demands made on us. Life is busy. For many we were raised to believe that working hard was key to success and happiness, but that pursuit has fallen short on its promise. It can feel like no matter what we do, it’s never enough!
