Toranj Learning Centre
In 2019, with funding from the Community-Led Local Development programme, Toranj Tuition relocated from its original base at the University of Hull’s Enterprise Centre to rented premises on Bishop Lane in Hull’s Old Town. In 2021, the organisation moved again—this time into its own premises on Beverley Road, purchased with the support of a Key Fund loan. Beverley Road was strategically chosen for its accessibility, being within walking distance of Paragon Interchange and close to the residential areas most commonly served by our beneficiaries.
The new premises, now known as the Toranj Learning Centre (TLC), is a three-storey building with over 10 dedicated rooms supporting learning, community services, and organisational operations.
Our Facilities
We currently offer a range of facilities and services to our learners and community members, including:
Meeting Rooms
Large and medium-sized meeting rooms with multi-purpose TV screens for training, meetings, and events.
Kitchenette
Free Wifi
PC room & printer access
Book & magazine lending library
The ground floor of TLC serves as a welcoming community centre, offering a warm space, a Newcomer’s Helpdesk, translation services, and, at times, a food bank distributing parcels. Other areas within the centre provide space for a wide range of activities, including education classes and workshops, social gatherings, or recreation.
Currently, TLC supports Afghan, Iranian, and Ukrainian communities, offering office space. Community groups are welcomed and supported in using the space free of charge or at subsidised rates, depending on their needs. As a result, TLC now functions as an incubator for emerging community initiatives, offering the facilities, guidance, and resources required to help these groups grow and succeed.
