This year has seen the continued use and expansion of our Free Scran Programme in the Irvine Valley and Kilmarnock branch. As other groups and the established charities and governmental groups either leave or reduce their services daily, it is the dedicated comrades of Serve The People who are left to help people pick up the pieces of their lives.
In 2024 we hope to launch two major programmes.
Firstly, our Adult Literacy Programme. This Programme would run alongside current existing groups, namely the Council and the Shannon Trust. Reading charities do not seem as active in Scotland, where this pilot Programme will take place. We will train a comrade up and hope to be ready to take on our first learners by this time next year.
Secondly, our General Education Programme. We have been in contact with a teacher, as well as an in-group teacher to provide two courses – Dialectical Materialism and Revolutionary History. The courses will be taught online via Discord. Help is available to access these courses. We hope to launch at least at least one of these courses by March 2024.
