Walking Group Open Day

Pilton Community Health Project, Boswall Parkway

Wednesday 26 April, 1 – 4pm

Pilton Community Health Project (PCHP) are hosting an walking group open day from 1-4pm on Wed 26th April at PCHP, 73 Boswall Parkway EH52PW. The aim is to introduce people to our regular walking group that happens on a Monday and Friday every week (and has done for six years or more!).

If you know anyone who might would benefit from a walking club, might want to get out and about but feels shy or who has been recommended they exercise more but doesn’t know what to do, then this is the perfect opportunity to come and meet our walking volunteers and find out more about our walking group. Just drop by, no appointment necessary.

Edinburgh College threw open its doors for a Construction Apprenticeship Open Day today to give young people the chance to find out about industry career routes and link up with employers and training providers. 

And the minister for youth and women’s employment, Annabelle Ewing MSP, called in this afternoon to support the event – and gamely tried her hand at some  traditional construction skills too!

The college has teamed up with the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) and Historic Scotland to demonstrate the kinds of apprenticeship opportunities available to potential apprentices, employers and careers advisors, and professional development opportunities for tradespeople.

Around 30 training providers, construction companies, local councils, universities, equipment suppliers, skills organisations and heritage groups were on hand to show how they can support apprentices, employers and professionals to find the careers, employees and skills they need, as well as funding opportunities.

The event was packed with stands, demonstrations, presentations and the chance to try out construction skills, with a focus on traditional construction skills: guests and visitors were invited to try stonemasonry, carpentry and joinery, roofing, plastering, brickwork, painting and decorating and plumbing – and some even tested their skills on mini diggers!
