Dear Students,

We hope this message finds you well.

It is with a heavy heart that we share the decision made at yesterday’s committee meeting (20/05/2025) regarding the winding down of the WEA Colchester branch. This decision was not made lightly and stems from the challenges we have faced, including a lack of support from the national WEA and difficulties in finding new tutors.

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the students, tutors, and committee members who have been a part of our community. Your participation and dedication have made a significant impact, and we are truly thankful for the memories we’ve created together.

We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to the Methodist Church for their generous support in providing accommodation for our courses.

Thank you for being a part of our journey.

Warm regards,

The WEA Colchester Committee
