Save 25 per cent on our Autumn programme of courses
We keep on cutting the costs of courses to help you in these tough times and there is 25 per cent off the fees listed in our Autumn 2009 brochures if you enrol by 25 September 2009.

You can see what is on offer by going the Autumn 2009 brochure page. If you would like a hard copy we will be distributing our brochures from late June to early July. Some will go direct to households via your newspaper and some will be delivered to all Libraries and Adult Community Education Centres. You can also order a copy by contacting Call Derbyshire on 08456 058 058.

Taking action to be greener

We are working hard to reduce our carbon footprint with the following actions:

• Reducing energy use in our centres

• Increasing recycling

• Promoting courses and events that focus on sustainability

• Using innovative ideas to get green ideas included in as many of our courses as possible

• We are planning to further develop our College of the Peak activity by building a new Eco Centre which will act as a regional and national showcase for sustainable development.
