BCLN Partner locations
The Berkshire Community Learning Network is a group of more than 40 organisations who are committed to maximising
the opportunities for adults to learn in their communities across Berkshire.
A number of these partners are networks
of other groups too (for example the Berkshire Neighbourhood Learning Centres Partnership).
Each pin represents a partner and the zoom controls are on the left hand side (+ and -). Click on a pin for more
information on the partner. Alternatively, you can scroll down and view the list of partners.
The map below shows the Berkshire Community Learning Network partners' locations. ITC, Ufi and SEEDA have
their offices outside Berkshire but can be seen if you click on the - button to zoom out.
Note: Only one location is shown for each partner, even when there are a number of centres associated with that partner,
but to see all the centres, please go to the pages shown either under the 'By area' heading, or under ' By provider'.
