Community Learning in Partnership (CLIP) was founded in 1995 by Janet Farr as a training organisation specialising in skills for the voluntary sector and the community. From early days, it found a niche in high quality training provision and management – particularly in rural Lincolnshire. CLIP was previously known as CG Partnership. The organisation is now well-established with the clear goal of widening participation in learning by people from rural, coastal and isolated communities. We work, with equal commitment, with young people aged 16-18 years who have under-achieved at school and with adults who are looking to refresh their skills – for personal development, family, higher education or work. CLIP is also committed to supporting people who have experienced mental health difficulties. Through our Learning Minds project, we are developing a "recovery approach" through a series of courses on mental health and well-being.
