Winter Coats Drive - Giveaway Dates 2025

💙 Warm Coats, Warm Hearts 💙

Do you need a little extra warmth this winter? EC Students' Association is here to help. 

We’re running our Winter Coat Drive, offering free coats, hats, and scarves for students who need them. Everything has been kindly donated by staff and students from accross the College as well as some brand new items from the wider college community, and it’s all free for you to take. 

Last year, we managed to redistribute 140 coats to students - we hope to smash that this year, with the help of our wonderfully kind suppliers, Russums Catering clothing, and Dencowear 

💙 Stay warm, stay cosy, and don’t be shy – this campaign is for you 💙


 

We Got You - A Message from Your VP Welfare, Sukinder

 

Sukinder Landa, Vice President WelfareHi everyone,

As the weather gets colder, I want to make sure no one at Edinburgh College has to face winter without something warm to wear.

As part of our Warm Coats, Warm Hearts initiative, we’ll have women’s, men’s, and children’s coats, as well as hats and scarves, available for anyone who needs them. Everything will be on a rail outside our offices – please feel completely welcome to come by and take what you need.

 

Giveaway Dates:
🧥 Monday 17th November – Sighthill Campus 
🧤 Tuesday 18th November – Granton Campus
🧣 Wednesday 19th November – Milton Road Campus

 

We would like to pay a special thanks to the angels that have donated this clothing from the wider Edinburgh College community - staff, students, and clothing suppliers Russums Catering Clothing, and Dencowear. Your kindness is appreciated 🙏

Let’s look out for each other and stay cosy this winter ❄️
