About Fernmoor
Learn, work, belong. For every age.
Fernmoor Foundation helps people of every age learn, find good work and feel at home in their community. We run free courses, one-to-one mentoring, community kitchens and digital skills hubs, and we publish what changed every year.
Four programmes, one purpose
Second Chance Learning
Free courses in English, maths and digital skills for adults, on weekday evenings and at weekends.
Pathways Mentoring
Six months of one-to-one mentoring for young people aged 16 to 24, many with mentors from local employers.
Open Kitchens
Hot meals in warm, welcoming spaces, with free advice on benefits, housing and work at the next table.
Digital skills hubs
Drop-in help with devices, online forms and job applications in libraries and on the high street.
How we report
Every figure, in context.
Results beside targets
Every result sits next to the target we set and the year before, so a good number and a missed goal are equally easy to see.
Outputs and outcomes
We label what we delivered and what changed for people, and never treat spending as proof of impact.
Sources you can check
Each figure links to how it was measured and where it came from.
Corrections in public
If we get something wrong, we fix it and say so on the report itself.
