CONOR McGinn Mp marked Adult Learners' Week with a visit to Helena Partnerships offices on Newton Road in Parr.
The St Helens North MP met people on an IT course who were learning how it could be used to save money and how it had helped them.
He said: "Adult Learners' Week has been a great opportunity to showcase the work of learners and their tutors in St Helens North.
"Improving the skills of adults is important to our community, what’s been delivered here in this constituency shows that. Many people are developing new skills, building confidence and creating new friendships.
“Having spoken to one of the tutors Danny, it is clear that courses like these are not only rewarding for the adult learners, but the tutors as well.
“I just hope the government recognise the importance of learning in later life and do not impose further cuts to the funding of adult community learning."
