  • Open Road - Outreach service for substance misuse.
    Open Road is a voluntary organisation supporting individuals, their families and local communities with issues around drugs and alcohol. Open Road provides a holistic service to clients including information, advice and support, assessments, keyworking and counselling.

    The service can be accessed by emailing help (@openroad.org.uk) or by calling 07948 405038. The drop in service at the Colchester campus is no longer operating due to low take up. However, appointments can still be made to meet on campus or at a convenient local venue.

    The service is free of charge, confidential and independent of the University. It is available in the Colchester area to all members of the campus community.

    More information about Open Road can be found on the website
