Abstract	It isn't the first time City Lit Principal Peter Davies has had to weather a financial storm. This time, he says, it's different--the proposed cuts to funding for adult learning are likely to prove disastrous. Intelligence suggests City Lit might face cuts of 40% in adult funding and even closer to 100% if the Adult Safeguarded Learning budget is removed. The impact will depend on the scale of the cuts. With an equitable reduction of 10% to 15% over four years, the main impact would be equivalent increases in fees. If the cut is 25%, it could be forced to cut some or all of its "force for good" areas, which make a significant financial loss, including provision for the deaf and for homeless people. If it really is 40%, it would be impossible to keep its current balance and mix of provision and a number of different options would need to be considered. Davies believes City Lit has a fight on its hands. City Lit has e-mailed 45,000 of its learners asking them to write to MPs to tell them why adult education is important to them. Learners have responded very well with many exceptional stories. (ERIC).
