Introduction

  • Comments View
    • Recovery colleges are run like mainstream colleges but the focus is on educational courses to support students’ mental health and wellbeing and help students by developing skills for recovery and creating shared learning experiences.
    • The college is based on the first floor, above the Stir Cafe, and shares some of its facilities.
    • In 2018 the college is planning to have the basement rooms converted to provide more teaching space.
    • These will have step-free access from the rear and standard toilets on the same level.
    • Please check with the college whether this work is finished.
    • Contact the college for details of the class programme.
    • Classes usually start after 10.00 and some may take place in the evening.
