Emma’s story
Student
Volunteer
I had low confidence and believed I couldn’t achieve anything…I am really proud of what I can now achieve.
When I first came to the Recovery College I had low confidence and believed I couldn’t achieve anything.
I went on a book folding course and I was shown how to fold a book into a love heart – then I ordered my own patterns book. I now have sold some as Christmas presents and every one says how great they are. I can now do any patterns…here is a picture of what I can do and I am really proud of what I can now achieve.
I have even gone on to teach the book folding course at the Recovery College myself now!

The Recovery College were very helpful, meeting me before the course, making sure everything for the course was suitable for me.
