Selina Chilton (Ruth Pearce) and Donnaleigh Bailey (Michelle Corrigan), stars of the BBC One drama series ‘Doctors’, will be officially opening a new learning centre for Birmingham, with help from local MP Claire Short.

TBG Learning, which used to be based in Great Charles Street, has moved into a new centre in George Nott house in order to provide more space and better facilities for learners on programmes such as entry to employment (e2e), Flexible Routeways, and the Government’s Flexible New Deal programme, which starts on 5th October and aims to assist people back into employment.

The event will include the opportunity to have a tour of the new centre and find out about courses on offer. Successful ex-learners who have since gained employment following participation on a programme at TBG Learning will be returning for the event to talk about their experiences. E2e students who have progressed onto college will also be attending to tell their story. TBG Learning’s regional manager for the West Midlands, Lawrence Thirlaway, will address guests.

The event will include a prize draw to raise money for TBG Learning Birmingham’s chosen charity, the Stroke Association.

Other guests will include representatives from TBG Learning’s partners, including Connexions, the Jobcentre, Matthew Bolton College, A1 training, the Shaw Trust, Platinum Training, City College, Zenos Training Academy, and the Learning and Skills Council.
