Czechs and Italians visit Bridgwater College and Family centres

Czech Family centre workers meet Mayor of Bridgwater Steve Austen

In January and February 2015 we organised a small group of Czech family centre workers from the Akropolis Centre in Uherske Hradiste and another group of Italians from our soon to be twinned town of Priverno. A progamme organised with the help of the Bridgwater College and other institutions involved in training for social care made this possible.
