Community Roots (formerly The Recovery College)

Recovery College is now Community Roots

From 1st October 2023, we will no longer be using the Eventbrite platform.

You can find us on our new site at Community Roots

We may have changed our name, but continue to offer an engaging and revolutionary curriculum, designed and developed alongside people with lived experience of mental ill health and professional experts. We hope that you enjoy our curriculum offers as much as we have enjoyed co-producing them, remember to keep an eye on both our Twitter and Facebook accounts for regular updates.

We have a wide-ranging digital offer, and you can also attend our courses in person at either our Preston or Burnley centres.

Community Roots has been developed by Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust, in partnership with service users, staff and community members. We also work alongside a wide range of community focused organisations across the county to bring you the very best local health & wellbeing opportunities.

We aim to bring you learning opportunities that have a positive impact on your health and wellbeing. Recovery College is a non-clinical approach that recognises the importance of lived and professional experience in creating accessible and engaging learning opportunities.

We believe in recovery for all, supporting one and other whilst challenging the stigma associated with mental ill health. As our offer is always developing based on the needs of the communities we serve, we welcome all to work with us to support resilient and informed communities across Lancashire and South Cumbria. If you would like to get involved, please get in touch.

All of our courses are FREE and have been co-produced or specifically requested by individuals with lived experience, community members and recovery & clinical staff.

Anyone aged 16 and over can access The Community Roots curriculum and get involved in the co-development of our offer, contact us via Community.Roots@lscft.nhs.uk to learn more or book on to any of our courses here : Community Roots
