Coleg Harlech in Harlech, Gwynedd, is Wales' only long term mature students education college established in 1927 by Thomas Jones (T. J.), Cabinet Secretary to both David Lloyd-George and Stanley Baldwin, to continue the work of Workers Education Association in a residential environment. It has become well known as a 'second chance' college, often for people who for economic or social reasons never had a first chance. It had always had a close association with the WEA and merged with WEA (North Wales) in 2001 to become Coleg Harlech Workers' Educational Association (North Wales). The other long term mature students colleges in the UK are: Ruskin College at Oxford; Northern College at Barnsley; Hillcroft College in Surbiton; Fircroft College at Birmingham; Newbattle Abbey College in Midlothian, Scotland.
