Adult learner success across Liverpool City Region celebrated
Published: Wednesday 30 September 2026A special event has been held at Croxteth Park, to mark the completion of courses by adult learners from a range of community groups across the Liverpool City Region.
Myerscough College works with the team at Liverpool City Region to fund training for local residents through the Adult Education Budget (AEB) who meet the criteria to be eligible.
The celebration event launched with a welcome address from Jane Booker, chair of the Myerscough Corporation, who welcomed students who have studied RHS programmes at both at the College Centre in Croxteth Park and in community venues across Liverpool City Region.
Myerscough Chief Executive and Principal, Wes Johnson, also addressed the room, congratulating all those who had achieved their awards and explaining more Myerscough’s role in supporting learners across the area.
Special guest Bernard Pendleton, former Director of Student Support and Welfare and current Chair of RHS North West in Bloom, then presented the awards to the learners present.
We congratulate everybody on their achievements and wish all the learners all the very best for the future.
Myerscough would also like to acknowledge the fantastic local partners and community groups who help to make the programme such a success.
They are: Active Community Enterprise, Bright Park, Clock Community Centre, Everton Community Garden, Faiths 4 Change, Grow Speke, Growing Sudley, La Salle Hotel School, The Community Basket, The Secret Garden, Victoria Park and Whitby Park.
Wes Johnson said: ‘’We are the specialist land-based college for Liverpool City Region residents – providing opportunities that would not be available without the College base here in Croxteth Park.
‘’Maximising the use of the park facilities here is for the benefit of students and park users alike.
‘’Myerscough brings a traditionally rural education offer to students in very urban settings across the City Region.
‘’We are proud to make a real difference to the lives of local residents.’’
