Welcome
H
     appy New Year and
     welcome to your fourth
     Lancashire Recovery College
prospectus.
This term we have found homes for the College across Central Lancashire,
Blackpool and West Lancashire. We’ve listened to your feedback and know
you prefer to come to the same location to access the Recovery Learning
offers we deliver. We will be offering further pilots in East Lancashire and
Fylde & Wyre, please get involved to let us know what you
would like to see in your local community.
We continue to work in partnership with local community
groups, charities and organisations to bring you the varied
and community focussed opportunities you’ve identified.
We have formed Advisory Groups in each locality which
everyone is welcome to attend. Getting involved in your local
Advisory Group means you will help us to co-design the
service to ensure we are connected to the community and
responsive to its needs.
We continue to put co-production at the heart of everything we
do and our Curriculum Development Groups provide a supportive
environment to share ideas, co-create new opportunities and
engage with our partners.
We’ve got some great new opportunities available this term
including photography and movement & dance, as well
as our popular courses around living with conditions and
mental health awareness.
It goes without saying, none of this would be possible without the support
of our Volunteers and members. Please continue to spread the word about
Lancashire Recovery College so we can continue to improve and develop.

You don’t need to have volunteered before but our volunteers need to
demonstrate empathy, hope and control so we can keep enhancing the
opportunities available to our communities.
Volunteering is a chance to meet new like-minded people and gain
experience, especially if you are interested in a career in Health, Wellbeing or
even Teaching. A regular time commitment is required, because consistency is
important to our learners.
All volunteers are DBS checked and will be supported by the recovery team; you
will receive continuous supervision and support throughout your time with us.

Our Courses
Explained
The Our Health courses introduce information about mental health
conditions. We welcome individuals safely sharing their experiences, but this
isn’t a requirement. You may want to learn more about specific conditions or
how you can support someone you care for. By attending these courses our
members hope to gain a set of skills, tools and knowledge they can use and
share between peers and family members to promote a more fulfilled life.

The Wellbeing courses focus on the link between mind, activity and body.
These courses will cover areas such as exercise, good nutrition and making
healthy lifestyle choices. Our members book on to these courses to improve
energy levels, sleep patterns or general quality of life, whilst enjoying the
social environment.

 Nourish the Soul has courses developed to explore different spiritual
techniques which connect individuals to themselves. These introductory
courses promote relaxation and reflection; learners often go on to access
social groups in the wider community to broaden their practice.

Our Creativity & Culture courses are designed to unearth, explore or
rekindle our creative sides. You may like to express your journey through
song, dance, art or crafts and you are most welcome to do this with us.
Working creatively may help members to express themselves and create
pieces that speak to others, supporting one and other on recovery journeys.

 Next Steps is designed to connect members to wider opportunities in
their communities. We recognise recovery is a journey and not a destination
so we detail some of the meaningful opportunities available following your
attendance at the Recovery College. Working alongside our many partners
we aim to signpost people to community activities to guide them to lead a
connected and fulfilled life.

 “
      We’ve been developing more
      workshops, courses and partnerships
      since last term, to bring you lots of
      new opportunities. Thank you to
      everyone who is volunteering and
      working with us, it’s through our
      shared experiences we can develop
      a great community offer.  ”

What’s on:

Central
Lancashire
We are ideally situated at The Harris Museum, Art Gallery & Library
in Preston. The Harris has created a beautiful gallery called Space to
Relax – The Wellbeing Gallery, which is open to the public every day.
Every Monday Lancashire Recovery College has exclusive use of the Wellbeing
Gallery to deliver a workshop each morning and afternoon. We do close the
doors to the gallery during course delivery, to provide a safe and confidential
space, but we open the doors outside of course times so everyone can enjoy
the art and activities on offer.
With fantastic transport links and a number of partners working alongside
us, we are able to offer a learning, support and advice hub every Monday.
Please feel free to come and visit the team to see if there’s something you
would like to engage with.

       Brilliant workshop! I had no skills (beforehand) in terms of craft
       work or decoupage. After this workshop, I’ve learnt so much, it’s
       unbelievable. ”

HARRI has our recovery team on board but also hosts a variety of our
partners who are able to offer on the day advice and support, as well as
signposting so you get the information you need, simply by jumping on
board!
You can also sign up to become a Recovery College member and book on to
your preferred course right then and there.
You can see where HARRI will be visiting by visiting our website

 “
       HARRI is a great tool to engage with
       the local community who might not
       normally access our services. It is
       great that we can see a difference
       when people come on board.    ”
