Risingholme Community Centre trading as Risingholme Learning is a not-for-profit organisation with a focus on promoting community spirit. We have a strong ethic of excellence and community well-being.

Risingholme Learning operates under four key values: enjoyment, enhancing, effortless and tradition. These core values underpin everything we do.

Risingholme Learning operates from a lovely historic house (the Homestead), built in 1864, and set in a beautiful and peaceful English-style park in Opawa.

Risingholme courses are open to everyone aged 16 and over who are not currently at school, regardless of educational background, unless specified otherwise.
