 Official opening of The Bridge Skills Hub
Bassetlaw District Council has officially opened its state-of-the-art skills and education hub, The Bridge Skills Hub, in the centre of Worksop on Wednesday 22 March, 2023.
The Council were awarded £3.5million from D2N2’s ‘Getting Building Fund’ to refurbish the long-term vacant building, creating an opportunity to support 300 learners across a range of subjects including health and social care, leadership and management.
The Bridge welcomed its first students, businesses and learners to its modern and inspirational building in April last year. During the first year, the Hub has seen 80 students enrol on higher education programmes, including higher-level apprenticeships, foundation degrees, access to HE courses and degree top up courses. Over 450 participants have attended Futures’ Restart Scheme, with over 85 of these now in employment.
To make enquiries about booking space or becoming an education or training provider at The Bridge, please contact skillshub@bassetlaw.gov.uk or call 01909 384802.

The regulations will apply to all UK organisations that import or supply packaging.
You need to collect and report packaging data if all the following apply:

- you have an annual turnover of £1 million or more (based on your most recent annual accounts)
- you were responsible for more than 25 tonnes of packaging in 2022
