Sponsor Omega Centre

Corporate Sponsorship

In 2008, the Workers’ Educational Association (WEA) took on the running of the Omega Centre and undertook a major refurbishment project. The Centre’s transformation from Victorian schoolhouse to 21st Century training facility was largely made possible thanks to the Jeffery-Machin Foundation (JMF). The JMF is the legacy of Canon Ivor Jeffery-Machin and his wife, Brenda Jeffery-Machin, who were both passionate believers in the value of lifelong learning and the work of the WEA.

Omega Centre is an extension of the WEA’s commitment to enable adults of all ages and backgrounds – particularly those who have previously missed out on education – to realise their full potential through learning. The WEA is one of the UK’s biggest charities, running over 10,000 courses each year, providing learning for more than 110,000 adults and operating at local, regional and national levels.
