One Step Borders

At One Step Borders we work with teenagers and young adults in the Scottish Borders, aged 16 to 25. One Step Borders C.I.C.

Admitting you are struggling does not mean you are mentally ill. Mental health and emotional wellbeing is all about how we cope with what life throws at us. It concerns the way we feel about ourselves, conduct relationships, handle stress or deal with loss. One Step Borders works with young people and families in the Scottish Borders to:
support young people who are experiencing emotional or mental health pressures and those who are caring for someone with such challenges
support young people in transition – from primary to secondary school, from homelessness to sheltered accommodation, from sheltered accommodation to independent living
help schools equip young people with the tools required to support a healthy wellbeing, positive choices and an inclusive culture. promote understanding of mental health and wellbeing
promote peer support and social networks for young people experiencing mental health difficulties. All our experienced trainers have passed Enhanced Disclosure Scotland checks and are fully insured. Each member of the One Stop Borders team as lived experience of emotional and mental health difficulties, as well as experience in working towards individual recovery. is a not for profit community interest company – also known as a social enterprise.

Well’Rose | U18 Wasps fundraiser for One Step 🦶

Last November the u18’s squad took part in Movember, to help raise awareness and funds for a local charity. Ther chosen charity was ‘One Step Borders’ who work with teenagers and young adults in the borders aged 16-25. The squad did a great job raising £235. which has been donated to the charity.

It was great to have Alex, the managing director of ‘One Step Borders’, pop down to the club before training last week to thank the boy’s for their donation, and to let them know a bit about the charity and what the money would go towards.
