02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

It is our aim to reduce some of the social isolation and exclusion experienced by young adults (aged 16–30) with additional support needs in East Lothian by providing a consistent, supportive weekly youth club and unique opportunities for supported independence, such as our annual activity weekend. As a parent-led organisation, our core objective is to champion inclusion and self-worth. We provide a safe environment where members can build genuine friendships and access the kind of enriching social experiences—like a holiday with mates—that other young people take for granted, but which are otherwise extremely expensive, often rely on unknown staff, and lack a natural peer group. We also provide two volunteering opportunities for people with support needs.
