02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
EDG promotes the inclusion of people with a learning disability and their family carers in Edinburgh. Our aim is always to work alongside people and be guided by them as they know best what will help. We recognise that due to societal barriers, they may not have the time to organise everything for themselves. Our role is to take away the organisational load so people can focus on what matters most. Co-design, co-delivery and co-evaluation at the centre of all of our projects.
