What a fantastic Open Day!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent Barnsley Recovery & Wellbeing College Open Day.

We welcomed more than 56 people through our doors, and we’re delighted that almost 29% of those who attended signed up to take their next steps with the College.

And a special thank you to everyone who “fetched a friend” – whether you came along yourself, brought someone with you, told somebody about the day or encouraged them to pop in, every one of you made a difference.

We also couldn’t have done it without the brilliant people who helped make the day what it was. Thank you to our partners and stallholders, and to our wonderful volunteers, who gave their time, shared their experiences and, as always, proved themselves to be some of the very best ambassadors for the Recovery College.

We know that taking that first step through the door can sometimes be the hardest part. That’s why we want to keep creating relaxed, informal opportunities for people to come in, have a look around, meet us and find out what the College could offer them, with no pressure or commitment to enrol.

And there’ll be more opportunities to do just that!

Following the success of the day, we’re planning to host around four Open Days each year, helping even more people in Barnsley discover the Recovery & Wellbeing College.

If you’re a local partner or organisation and would like to be involved in a future Open Day, register your interest via the Recovery College Email.

Thank you again to everyone who came, contributed, volunteered, spread the word, or fetched a friend! We appreciate you.
