Recovery Colleges Learning Set 2025
We are delighted to share that the Learning Sets will be continuing with bookings now open for 2025!
About the Learning Sets
At our 2018 International Annual Conference dedicated to celebrating the achievements of Recovery Colleges, we heard from many of our colleagues about wanting to come together on a regular basis to exchange learning, share ideas, develop our thinking further and hear about the latest research and evidence on Recovery Colleges.
The Learning Sets which we set up to enable people to do this are facilitated by Rachel Perkins and Sue Williams and have enabled some 50 Recovery Colleges to connect with and support one another on key issues in their developments.
A combination of presentations, guest speakers and group discussions give members the opportunity to share experiences and innovations, learn from each other and develop practice.
Shaped by the preferences of our Learning Set members, the Learning Sets have explored topics such as what makes a good curriculum and course, serving diverse communities, staff skills and development, integration with communities, blended learning, and more.
As a member of the Recovery College Learning Set you will have access to:
6 half-day Learning Sets per year via Zoom (exact dates are to be confirmed but they will be in January, March, May, July, September and November).
6 delegate places at each of the Learning Sets.
An opportunity to design and shape the focus of the Learning Sets with other members.
The chance to network with other Recovery Colleges at the learning days and establish links to connect between Learning Set days.
Participate in a network to develop practice and champion impact of Recovery Colleges.

“The Learning Sets are a great opportunity to come together as a collective to see what others are doing.
To discuss the positives and the pitfalls of Recovery College working and to make links to enhance skills and knowledge for the communities that we serve.”
“I think they’re fantastic. I think it is so important for our continued growth we have a forum where we can hear from colleges up and down the country and learn together. I think Imroc has created a shared space where people feel safe to problem solve together in a coproduced environment, being a part of shaping the thinking. Having a space to share evidence and excellence gives more credence to our endeavours when representing our Colleges. There’s strength in numbers!
I also like having international guests as I feel the 6 Imroc defining features are robust enough to be used anywhere and learning from different cultures in our current diverse communities can only be a great thing. I think they are well presented by Rachel and Sue who both bring their wisdom and experience in facilitating the learning and Daniela is very efficient in her communications, emails and recordings.
I’m a great believer in the learning sets and in my view are well worth the cost.”
“It’s great to link up with other Recovery Colleges. Some of the presentations are really useful.”
