English as a Second Language Tutor

We need an ESOL teacher urgently, so that we can offer classes to Ukrainian nationals who had recently moved to Braintree. If you can help, or know someone that might be able to, please contact us. We also need a Ukrainian speaker who might need to translate for the English tutor and who could also translate some our information leaflets into Ukrainian. You can call on 01376 323280 or email info@braintreecommunitycentre.org.uk.

COVID-19 Update: December 2020

Essex has been moved to Tier 4 as the COVID virus has been increasing. The Centre therefore remains closed for general users. The Centre is, in any case, closed until 18th January, but we believe that the area will still be restricted at that time.

In the meantime, Committee and staff wish you a Merry Christmas and a better New Year!
