Adult learners’ achievements marked in Rotherham Civic ceremony

The annual awards and celebration event at Rotherham Civic Theatre was presented by former World Cup referee Howard Webb, who congratulated each of the adult learners and presented their awards and certificates whilst posing for photographs.

The event, which was hosted by Rotherham Boroug Council’s Adult Community Learning team, is held in recognition of the hard work and effort put in by all the adult learners across a number of award categories.
