We bring our members together
We encourage our individuals to come together in Groups; belonging to communities is central to our service and is encouraged creatively, within our various services.
In everything we do, we believe in helping people with disabilities to become emotionally strong and confident.

We provide post school continued learning and goals setting, for young adults with additional support needs and various abilities & disabilities. Using community resources such as libraries, Edinburgh leisure venues, bookable studios for dance and music, kitchens, local attractions other local resources, we have created a diverse program – learning can be fun!
We include work experience opportunity alongside our person centred learning. Achieving goals and reaching for your dreams, is a central part of Following Your Positive Paths.
Our group based program runs Monday to Friday groups 10-3pm, running to the academic year August to August.
We provide support for children with a range of additional support needs throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians. Our support is mainly focused on providing short term respite for parents, in the form of weekend and after school support. We can also offer in house support, including evening and bedtime routines, and we can also provide overnight support and weekends away.
We believe all our members should have a thriving social life, have good and lasting friendships, and have the opportunity to try new things with like minded peers.
We support many social groups, week evenings and over the weekend, to allow friends to meet up with a little support, for new members to meet new ‘future’ friends, and experience opportunity to have some fun out and about with others.
We also have social events to see those ‘one off’ events, such as gigs, theatre shows, panto, comic con and many other events that come to Edinburgh/Glasgow.
Everyone needs a holiday and everyone should enjoy a holiday with Friends.
We plan and book holidays for members to go on holiday together, allowing families to have some ‘respite’, knowing your loved ones are having a true holiday with their friends.
