What Makes Edge’s Programmes Different?

We equip young adults with the skills and confidence to travel safely and independently, whether by public transport, on foot, or using other travel options. This essential life skill opens doors to education, employment, and community participation.

Employability & Real-World Opportunities

Through structured training, workplace tasters, and volunteering opportunities, we prepare young adults for the world of work. These experiences develop practical skills, responsibility, and confidence for their journey to independence.
Healthy Cooking & Nutrition

Hands-on lessons in our dedicated teaching kitchen, where participants learn to prepare meals, understand nutrition, and develop confidence in the kitchen.
Social & Communication Skills

Activities designed to improve interaction, teamwork, and self-expression, helping young adults build stronger relationships and thrive in social settings.
Community Engagement

Meaningful projects that encourage participation in local initiatives, helping young adults build social connections and a sense of belonging.
