Community Wellbeing

Courses for Wellbeing

Our free, government-funded courses help adults 19+ improve skills, confidence, and mental wellbeing, especially for those with mild to moderate mental health challenges.

These courses are separate from our main adult programmes and focus on supporting your wellbeing. Eligibility criteria apply for free places. See Terms and Conditions below for details.

 

How to enrol

If you would like to join any of the Community Wellbeing courses, please find a course you would like to join, then enquire directly from that course's page.
 
A Community Wellbeing team member will contact you by phone to provide you with more details and enrol you on your chosen course.

Terms and conditions relating to these courses are below.

If you don't meet the eligibility criteria for a free place, you can still enrol in a Community Wellbeing course from just £5 per hour. Please contact us for more details.
