Widening Opportunities for Learning
The Community Education Development Centre is the only national charitable trust which promotes learning as a vehicle for social inclusion.  Underpinning all of their work is a commitment to enabling those who have previously missed out to take an active part in society, through learning.

CEDC was established in 1980.  Based in Coventry, it is self-financing and works throughout England and Wales to:

Involve all sections of the community in learning, so that individuals can lead fuller and more satisfying lives.

Develop innovative approaches to learning, reaching those in the community who would not normally participate in education.

Promote lifelong learning as an important part of people's lives, bringing benefits for their health and economic well-being, as well as for their educational achievements.

Find ways to remove barriers to participate in learning.
