Cambridgeshire Federation of WEA Branches

The Cambridgeshire Federation of WEA Branches has been in existence for well over 30 years, it is the twenty five Cambridgeshire WEA branches independent voice in the WEA Eastern Region and works with and complements the work of the professional team at Cintra House.  Currently, Cambridgeshire Federation members have a lay seat on the Education and the Finance and General Purposes Committees.  We are just like other students are unpaid volunteer branch members and our only staff member is our County organiser, Stuart Nichol.

The Cambridgeshire Federation of WEA Branches have no government or central WEA funding and our income is solely from the generosity of the Cambridgeshire WEA annual branch subscription.  Each of the other counties in the Eastern region also has a WEA federation of branches.

The Cambridgeshire Federation of WEA Branches team works very hard to represent all the Cambridgeshire WEA branches point of view, where it really matters.  This involves working in close partnership with the WEA Eastern Region professional team, delivering what we all regard as a first rate premium adult educational learning experience.

This is definitely a two way process and under the strong leadership of our lay chairman, the lay Regional Committee representatives and WEA staff members democratically deliver solutions to all the many issues that need to be reached, never shirking from the difficult topics.

Every year the Cambridgeshire Federation of WEA Branches has an annual gathering during which we have a brief AGM.  All the Cambridgeshire branches are invited to come and have their say or raise any issues.  We are always available to answer any questions and queries, our contact details are at the end. 

Our Annual Gathering in 2010 will be held at Haddenham on October 30th 2010.

There are also three Eastern Regional Council meetings, were all the Cambridgeshire WEA branches can come along and find out more about the work of the WEA in the Eastern Region and the various county federations.
