Adults in Exmouth can learn a new skill for free in 2017, as part of a government research project looking at ways to improve mental health and wellbeing.

Devon County Council’s adult education service, Learn Devon, is offering free leisure courses in subjects including arts and crafts. It is part of an England-wide project, which aims to develop, deliver, share and evaluate educational approaches to support mental health.

The courses will be running at the Learn Devon Centre in Exmouth, along with other Devon locations, until July 2017, when the project ends.
