North Staffordshire

Wellbeing College

Together we learn… with you, by you, for you

Free co-produced workshops for people in Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, and the Staffordshire Moorlands covering any topic related to wellbeing.

What we offer

Our Workshops

Our workshops cover a range of topics and can help in a variety of ways, from physical health and wellbeing, to education and more.

Co-production & Recovery

Co-production makes us different to conventional colleges. This means that everything we do, from designing and delivering the workshops to strategic decisions, is done together.

Resources

We provide a range of resources for our students, including guides, contacts, news & events

Our Workshops

All of our workshops are co-produced and co-facilitated by people who have lived experience of physical and mental health challenges.

You can expect to feel included and your contribution will be valued. All of our workshops are interactive, but there will be no pressure. Our sessions are all led by the attendees on the day.

"It's a wonderful creation, they work hard providing a respectable, comfortable environment in loads of different locations, it has a unique and dynamic feel (...) if you go to any of the workshops you'll feel supported and valuable"

Learning together

With you, by you, for you

We understand that it may be difficult for you when first attending the Wellbeing College and having to be in a new place, meeting new people.

To help with this, feel free to bring a carer, relative or friend with you and ask them to also enrol as a student alongside you if you feel this would be helpful.
