Funding Cuts

Funding Cuts

Like the rest of the UK, OMTI has had a severe cut in its funding.  We have lost over 70% of our funding for the next finiancal year 2011/12.  This has mean that we have had to take some very difficult decisions with staff and what provision we can put on for the coming year.

Unfortuntaley, OMTI is having to make some staff redundant.  This means that we will have to reduced the number of tutor-led courses that can be provided.  Despite losing over 70% of our funding we have still managed to retain two thrids of the tutor-led courses meaning we will be delivering 16 instead of 25.  View the courses we are offering please view the course programme here or download our newsletter.

In addition to a reduction in tutor-led courses we have also had to reduce the number of hours the drop-in workshop is open.  Drop-in access is now going to be available from 1pm to 5pm Monday to Friday, with a late night on Tuesday evening until 8pm.  The late night will be for adults only.  See Opening Times for full details.
