This is what real, meaningful learning looks like.
Working in real environments. Contributing to real communities. Taking responsibility, following instructions, working as a team and seeing the impact of your effort straight away.

Community work isnโ€™t an add-on for us โ€” itโ€™s a vital part of becoming work-ready. Showing up, getting stuck in, and doing the job properly matters.

Huge thanks to the Tranent Wombles for welcoming the group and for the brilliant work they do week in, week out. Proud to play a small part in keeping East Lothian cared for. ๐ŸŒ

๐ŸŒณ Big shout-out to the awesome team at A-Team Tree Surgery & Garden Services ๐ŸŒณ

Huge thanks for their recent donation of wood-chip โ€” weโ€™re absolutely delighted to put it straight to work in Edge Woods.

The wood-chip is ideal for the pathways our groups have grafted hard to clear, helping us create safer, more accessible routes through the Woods. Even better, itโ€™s a brilliant example of re-using natural materials in the right place โ€” back into the woodland environment where they belong.

Practical support. Sustainable thinking. Real community impact.
Weโ€™re very grateful โ€” thank you! ๐Ÿ™Œ

January has thrown some pretty grotty weather at us โ€” and with the month ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ญ๐˜บ behind us, weโ€™re definitely looking forward to brighter days ahead.

So weโ€™re throwing it back to last yearโ€™s SUP sessions: blue skies, calm water and time spent paddling in some of our favourite spots across the Lothians.

We love being outdoors all year round, whatever the forecast brings โ€” but we wonโ€™t lie, longer days and lighter evenings are very welcome when they come ๐Ÿ˜…

The support for Edge Woods just keeps coming โ€” and we honestly couldnโ€™t be more grateful.

Following our recent shout-out, weโ€™ve had even more incredibly generous donations come in, all of which will be put to immediate, practical use as Edge Woods continues to take shape.

A huge thank you to the team at Barklay Park Dog Day Care Centre , as well as ๐—๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฒ & ๐—”๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜†, and ๐— ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฎ for their kindness and generosity โ€” it genuinely makes a difference.
Community backing like this is exactly what Edge Woods is all about.

Every contribution helps us build safe, meaningful outdoor learning spaces and gives materials a proper second life. The encouragement and goodwill from the community has been fantastic ๐ŸŒณ

Last week, all groups got stuck into moussaka in the kitchen โ€” and honestly, itโ€™s a bit of a hero dish. ๐Ÿฅ˜

Itโ€™s packed with real kitchen skills (knife work, layering, seasoning, oven timing), encourages healthier choices, and is brilliantly flexible โ€” perfect for swapping ingredients, loading up on extra veg, or adapting to what youโ€™ve already got in the fridge.

Even better? It batch-cooks and freezes like a dream. Future-you gets a proper, home-cooked meal with zero faff. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Good food. Smart choices. Skills that actually get used beyond the kitchen.
Thatโ€™s the kind of learning weโ€™re here for.

Wow. Just wow. ๐Ÿ’ฅ

This morning the team headed to Dalkeith to collect donations for Edge Woods โ€” and weโ€™re genuinely blown away. So much brilliant, usable material, all generously offered to support what weโ€™re building here (not even a fraction of what we collected is in the photos!).

These materials will be put straight to work creating safe, practical outdoor learning spaces โ€” giving materials a second life and helping our plans move forward faster than we expected.

A special thank you to Susan & Gerry ( ) for their incredible generosity โ€” weโ€™re so grateful.

A massive thank you to everyone who shared, offered items, and made this happen. Community support like this really does make a difference โ€” and weโ€™re incredibly grateful.

Weโ€™ll be sharing updates as Edge Woods continues to take shape ๐ŸŒณ

Chicken korma and naan breads โ€” all made from scratch by every group ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

This wasnโ€™t just about following a recipe. It was real skills in action: measuring, timing, teamwork and adapting flavours to suit different tastes. Fresh ingredients, flexible recipes, healthier choices โ€” and proof that cooking from scratch saves money too.

All 3 Transitions groups took on travel training sessions last week, with a proper twist this time ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ

Each person stepped up to ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฝ at different points throughout the day โ€” planning routes, making decisions on the move, keeping an eye on time, and adapting when things didnโ€™t go exactly to plan. And honestly? They smashed it.

Navigating Edinburgh city centre is no small task, but the groups handled busy streets, public transport, landmarks and meet-up points with confidence. Along the way, they also soaked up a bit of the cityโ€™s history and culture, proving this wasnโ€™t just about getting from A to B.

This is learning through doing โ€” and itโ€™s brilliant to see independence building in real time ๐Ÿ‘

The Life Programme teams hit the slopes at Hillend and absolutely smashed it.
New skills, big confidence boosts and plenty of backing each other every step (and slide) of the way.

Challenging themselves, having a laugh, and proving that trying something new pays off โ€” exactly what these sessions are all about.

Strong progress. Proper effort. More to come!

We were delighted to welcome Colin Beattie MSP for Midlothian North and Musselburgh to our campus at Eskmills today.

It was a great opportunity to share more about the work we do here at Edge, talk honestly about the current social care landscape in Scotland, and show what our programmes look like in practice. From a tour of the campus to time spent in our teaching kitchen, multi-use learning spaces and Edge Woods, it was a chance to see real learning, real skill-building and real outcomes in action.

Thank you for taking the time to visit, engage in open conversation and see our work first-hand. We hope you enjoyed your time at Edge.

Always good to open the doors, share the work, and keep these conversations moving forward ๐Ÿ’ฌ

Weโ€™re delighted to be starting the week with some Monday Motivationโ€ฆโ€ฆ

๐ŸŽ‰ A huge congratulations to Ewan, one of our Outdoor Support Workers, who has officially passed all assessments and is now a fully qualified ski instructor with Snowsport Scotland โ›ท๏ธ๐Ÿ‘

This is an epic achievement and a real credit to the time, effort and commitment Ewan has put in. His calm approach, encouragement on the slopes and love of outdoor learning are already clear โ€” and itโ€™s great to see that backed up with recognised qualifications.

It also means our existing ski sessions are even stronger, with added technical knowledge, confidence and progression built into the time on the slope. Same sessions, same focus โ€” just more depth and opportunity for the groups taking part.

Weโ€™re proud to support staff as they grow their skills in ways that genuinely add value to whatโ€™s already happening.

Well done, Ewan โ€” very well deserved, and a fantastic milestone โ„๏ธโ›ท๏ธ
