Ewan โ€“ our resident ski instructor and all-round good egg โ€“ has officially stepped up to Outdoor Practitioner ๐ŸŽ‰

From leading sessions on the slopes to supporting progression across the board, Ewan has consistently brought the kind of energy, patience and skill that makes a real difference to the young adults we support. This next move recognises exactly that.

Itโ€™s not just about the qualification or the title โ€“ itโ€™s about the impact. The confidence built, the skills developed, the moments where things just click. Ewan has been right there for all of it.

Weโ€™re absolutely delighted to see him take this next step and canโ€™t wait to see whatโ€™s still to come ๐Ÿš€

When autistic young adults are supported in environments that recognise individual needs, strengths and communication styles, wellbeing improves and confidence can grow.

At Edge, we focus on supportive relationships, real-world experiences and achievable progress โ€” helping young adults build resilience alongside independence.

Because itโ€™s not just about picking up rubbishโ€”itโ€™s about taking pride in our spaces, understanding our impact, and doing something about it.

Every bag filled is a small win for the environment. Every action taken builds awareness, responsibility, and a stronger connection to the community around us.

Campaigns like this shine a spotlight on whatโ€™s possible when people come togetherโ€”but the real impact happens when those actions carry on, day in, day out.

And thatโ€™s exactly what this group showed. Action over words. Leading by doing.

Every week, we hear about the progress happening during our programmes โ€” but some of the most meaningful feedback comes from whatโ€™s happening beyond Edge.

From growing confidence and independence, to new conversations at home, trying new activities, and taking steps towards independence โ€” these are the moments that matter most.
Itโ€™s always powerful to hear how the skills developed at Edge are carrying over into everyday life.

This weekโ€™s feedback says it best: "YOUNG ADULT has continued to grow in confidence and is now able to travel independently to and from Edge."

All feedback is gathered from young adults and families as part of our ongoing outcomes and review process.

Schools are back.

Exams are next.

But what if exams arenโ€™t part of your path?

For many school leavers with learning disabilities, those who are autistic and/or have additional support needs, this week doesnโ€™t bring clarity โ€” it brings questions.

And while the focus is on results, families are often left trying to figure out what comes next.

The reality? Waiting until exams are over can mean missing the right opportunities.
Weโ€™ve pulled together a short piece on what this stage really looks like โ€” and the options that exist beyond traditional routes.

Back in the surf and straight into it ๐ŸŒŠ

Last week, our Life and Year 3 programme groups kicked off their groups' first surf session of the season โ€” and what a way to start. From refreshing core skills to getting comfortable back in the water, it was all about rebuilding confidence, finding rhythm again, and setting the tone for whatโ€™s ahead.

No pressure, no rush โ€” just time, support, and real progress where it matters.

This is what itโ€™s all about. Building skills, backing each other, and getting back to doing what they do best ๐Ÿ’ช

Out and about, learning skills that genuinely matter ๐Ÿ‘ฃ

This weekโ€™s travel training missions took us from Siccar Point all the way into Edinburgh โ€” putting real-world skills into practice across a full journey.

The focus? Staying safe and confident when out independently. From using apps like what3words to pinpoint exact locations, to sharing live locations with trusted people, and knowing where to find safe places (and safe people!) โ€” every step builds confidence that lasts.

Itโ€™s not just about getting from A to B.
Itโ€™s about knowing what to do if something doesnโ€™t go to plan.

Calm decisions. Practical tools. Real independence.

Thatโ€™s what itโ€™s all about. ๐Ÿ’ช

Edge Group Scotland has been shortlisted for the Living Hours Champion Award at the UK-wide Living Wage Foundation Champion Awards 2026 ๐ŸŽ‰

Weโ€™re genuinely surprised and absolutely delighted to be recognised at this level โ€” especially in the 25th year of the Living Wage movement.

To be included alongside organisations driving forward standards of fair work across the UK is something weโ€™re hugely proud of.

As a social care provider, Living Hours โ€” alongside the Living Wage โ€” isnโ€™t just a badge for us. Secure, reliable hours make a real difference to our team and directly impact the consistency and quality of support we provide every day.

When autistic young adults feel understood, supported and able to participate in ways that work for them, confidence grows and engagement follows.

At Edge, we create supportive, structured environments where individuals can build skills, develop independence and experience success in ways that are meaningful to them.
