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.
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.
