College Open Day next Thursday

Come along to our  Open Day on Thursday 22 November 

between 3pm and 7pm.

At Edinburgh College,  we have a range of course starting in January 2013, which will help get you  ready for employment or further study in August 2013.

From hospitality to  healthcare and construction to creative industries, we’ve got a range of  opportunities to help you move on to further study or get the job you want to  do.

And if you’re 16 – 24  we’ve got a range of hands-on programmes just for you.

Our Open Day is taking  place at our four campuses across Edinburgh and the Lothians. You can talk to  staff about the different courses and get expert advice on funding and student  support from our Student Support Services team.

Dianne seeks sponsors for Diabetes walk

West Granton Road woman Dianne Vanderster is taking part in a sponsored walk on behalf of Diabetes UK on 17 June and she’s looking for NEN readers to sponsor her.

Dianne, who is 73, has had diabetes for ‘eight or nine’ years and believes that the charity’s ‘Walk for Diabetes’ events are worth supporting, so she’s decided to take part in the Edinburgh and Lothians event which starts from Linlithgow Palace on 17 June.

Although Dianne and husband Jack have lived in West Granton Road for many years, many of her friends and neighbours have moved on and it’s not quite so easy for Dianne to get round the doors to look for sponsors – so she’s asked the NEN to help.

No sooner said than done – if you’d like to support Dianne in her sponsored walk to raise funds for Diabetes UK, contact Scottish organiser Susan Williamson on 0141 245 6380 or email Scotland@diabetes.org.uk

Good luck with the walk, Dianne!
