For
people like Patrick O’ Mahoney, from Gloucestershire, winning an
Adult Learners’ Week Award was an important recognition of his
remarkable learning journey.
Formerly an alcoholic and unable to read, Patrick was considered by
some to be a hopeless case. But having managed to land a responsible
job, and with a literacy course under his belt, he has boosted his
self esteem and his standard of living. Patrick's perseverance was
rewarded with an Adult Learners’ Week Award and a trip to the Awards
ceremony in London.
