OVER the years, this area has seen a number of disabled people attend Portland College. This is a charitably-funded national College for Disabled People in Nottinghamshire.

Recently, Western Awareness - a group led by former students of the College - was formed to get in touch with former Portland College students, their relatives, friends and acquaintances.

Other Portland College supporters will be contacted in order to organise the formation of a series of regional Old Students' groups or Awareness groups.

We would like to appeal for any former Portland College students, or anyone who wishes to support Portland College, to write to the address below.
