12th October 2017

On 9th October 2017 the Wellbeing and Support team at University Centre South Devon (UCSD) launched Support and Wellbeing Workshops for students in collaboration with The Lions Barber Collective.

The Lions Barber Collective is an international collection of barbers who have come together to help raise awareness for the prevention of suicide.

Students from across South Devon College and UCSD assembled to support the event. There was musical performances by the Level 3 Music and Performance students keeping everyone entertained throughout and Hair and Makeup students were on hand to braid hair and apply festival glitter makeup.
