SERC, though their partnership with the SEHSCT, opened the on-campus service back in 2012 which focus on raising awareness and giving advice on general health issues as well as issues such as drugs, alcohol, smoking cessation, sexual health, and emotional health and wellbeing.

The service is available from 9:30am - 12:30pm once a week at each of the college’s campuses, with support from the County Down Rural Community Network, YMCA and The Link (Newtownards).

The signing ceremony, held at the College’s Downpatrick Campus was witnessed by college students, SERC staff and Trust representatives and was a unique opportunity to raise awareness of the service across the community.
