Courses
Our courses
We co-develop and co-deliver free educational based courses focusing on recovery, wellbeing and shared learning. Our courses have been designed to empower people to find hope, to see and embrace opportunity through building skills and to gain control by putting these skills into practice.
Our timetable of courses is broken down into three terms, spring (January-Easter), summer (May-July) and autumn (September–December).
We are looking forward to our upcoming Summer term, with courses starting at the end of April and running through until late July 2024. Our Summer term timetable and our updated course descriptions document can be found below. You need to register and enrol before you can book onto our upcoming courses.
