    Can Do community review project review

    Students from the Entry to Learning Level 2 course at Edinburgh College visited Edinburgh University as part of their Leonard Cheshire Can Do community review project. We had a tour around the facility looking at all the different sport and exercise activities that were on offer. We then had the chance to take part in an extremely enjoyable session on the climbing wall. Accessibility The Majority of the building is accessible for disabled users with several lifts in place. The building can be a bit confusing so keep an eye out for the directional signposts. Our tip for a group visit would be to contact the centre first and arrange your visit with the very capable staff! Overall we gave it 4.5 out of 5 and would definitely recommend a visit! Comments from the class were; “The staff made me feel safe and brave!” “A great place for active people.”
