Of course you’re here to study and build your skills, but college life is also about having fun and taking part in new activities
We call this ‘enrichment’ – because it’s about the extras that make your experience here even richer.Â
Taking part in enrichment activities is a great way to take a break, have fun, and keep mentally and physically fit.Â
It can also help you develop skills that will help in your working life, like better communication, problem solving, decision making, time management and creativity.
What's on offer at Herefordshire?
Enrichment can be anything from weekly sessions to one–off activities and trips. Some examples are:Â
- Self-defence workshopsÂ
- Health & Fitness FairsÂ
- Yoga sessionsÂ
- Cycle workshopsÂ
- 5-a-side footballÂ
- Team building activitiesÂ
- BoulderingÂ
