The benches, which were installed to coincide with the College’s ‘Get Ready for Christmas’ health and wellbeing campaign, have been placed in the grounds of its campuses to promote kindness and everyday positive relationships.
Part of the college’s commitment to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of students and staff, the benches are a result of a collaboration with the Scottish psychological counselling service Breathing Space and their ‘Breathing Space Benches’ project.
