IT'S business almost as usual at the Training For Women centre in Haslingden but with different opening times.

Times are changing due to funding changes following the closure of the Action for Haslingden programme.

The Pleasant Street centre will be staffed by members of the information and guidance team of Accrington and Rossendale College who will continue to provide information, advice and guidance for education, college enrolments and advice about funding and finance for college.

New weekly opening times are: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 9am to 12.30pm; Tuesday, 10.30 to 12.20pm. Appointments may also be made outside those hours.

More information is available the team on 01254 354036, the college's information and guidance centre.

Team leader Dawn Haworth said: "The centre is no longer exclusively for women and we will help anyone who requires the services of a professional advice and guidance team.

"We regret we will no longer be able to offer the job search facility, CV writing and job application support to non college students."
