Meet Bernie – a learner who came to RHACC after retiring and found learning, creativity and community in equal measure. From music, guitar, singing and drama, to humanities and an Access course that led to a degree, Bernie’s journey is all about curiosity and connection.

“For older people especially, that continuing companionship and friendship really matters. This institution is hugely important.”

Learning doesn’t stop at retirement – sometimes it’s where everything opens up ✨
