FREE courses and workshops will be available at a church as part of an innovative project called community college in the cafe.

Kingsland Church on London Road, Lexden, will be kicking off the scheme with a psychology made simple course which runs for eight weeks and starts on Wednesday, January 18 at 7.30pm.

Subjects including body language, communicating without conflict and managing change will all be covered.

The course will be run by expert psychologist Karen Loring, who has more than 20 years experience in the industry.

She said: "Psychology can be simple and practical.

"Making sense of who we are and how people work can really help us to manage ourselves better and so manage life better."
