Wellbeing Spaces

Wellbeing spaces are available in the College. These spaces are available to anyone who would like a calm space to relax, practice mindfulness and take a break from their studies.

GAINSpace

Our students now have the opportunity to take a break from their studies by visiting a specialised mindfulness area and multi-faith room that can be used for prayer, meditation and reflection, and can be used by all students and staff.

The Wellbeing Garden

Our Wellbeing Garden is an open space where you can engage your senses and find peace within nature.

This area is designed to be quiet, calming and peaceful for students and staff to relax during breaks.
