South West and manager of the project)

Toyah Willcox recently helped the South West celebrate the achievements of the ‘Crystal Chandelier’ project – the largest ever project in the region aimed at improving adult literacy and numeracy skills.

Speaking at the celebratory conference in June, she said: “Thanks to the Crystal Chandelier project and the hard work of the specialist teachers it’s never too late to improve skills which can really help people achieve their potential.”

The Crystal Chandelier project, funded by the European Social Fund and the Learning and Skills Council helped over 1,500 trainers undertake qualifications that support adults to improve their basic skills.
