Hello, my name is Linsey and I have attended Park Street and Elgin Park for 20 years.
I enjoy coming to Park Street because...
- I can learn new skills
- I meet new people and make new friends
- It is really good fun!!!
LIKES
I like listening to music and my favourite singer is Kylie Minogue. I also like to go swimming in my spare so i can keep fit. I think it is great when I get to dress up and I love my family and friends too!
DISLIKES
I just can't stand it when people swear! I also dislike fighting and, quite surprisingly, I don't like football at all.
"I think that Park Street is really great and I hope i can keep going for as long as possible. Park Street has helped me learn lots of skills that I can use in life, such as writing, reading and counting.

Hello my name is Caroline and I like coming to the PEN Group because I get on with everyone there. I have been a member of PEN Group for 5 years.This is what I think of PEN Group:"It's good to come on Monday and talk to people and get on with. I also learn about using computers and other activities such as reading and writing."I used to go another group before Park Street but didn't quite understand the meaning of it. But since I came to Park Street my literacy skills have improved massively and I now have the confidence that I didn't have 5 years ago! Park Street is a good place to come because it gives me an opportunity to meet people and the tutors are really friendly and helpful.LIKES Park Street- Everyone here is easy to get on with.Going for coffee with friends.Looking after my grandson- It keeps me busy!Tae-kwon-do -Good funDISLIKESBrussels SproutsAngry People- People who are upset or cross
