Rewards Days 2022
We are absolutely delighted to share our Rewards Days offering for this academic year.

We are offering more trips than ever before, and more choice of free and local activities.
Sandwell Public Health – Alcohol and Drugs Survey
Sandwell Public Health are currently undertaking a needs assessment about alcohol and other drugs. As part of the needs assessment they are consulting a host of stakeholders, but most importantly want to hear from Sandwell residents to ensure their views are represented. The survey is aimed at everyone who is, or has been, impacted by drug or alcohol use.
