Edge Makes The Cut - Finalist in the Living Wage Scotland Awards 2025
Recognition for our commitment to fair pay and secure hours
We are delighted to share that Edge has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Newcomer category at the Living Wage Scotland Awards 2025.
This recognition is especially meaningful to us as one of only three social care providers in Scotland to be accredited as both a Living Wage and Living Hours employer. These accreditations demonstrate our firm commitment to valuing our people, ensuring fair pay, and providing the secure hours that give genuine stability.
At Edge, our values underpin everything we do. We believe that by supporting our team with fairness and security, we empower them to deliver the very best support for the autistic young adults and those with additional support needs who access our programmes. When our staff thrive, the individuals and families we work with thrive too.
Becoming accredited was not just a milestone but a reflection of our ethos: to lead with honesty, integrity, and a genuine commitment to positive change in the social care sector. You can read more about our journey to accreditation here:
Our Living Wage Accreditation
The Living Wage Scotland Awards celebrate the organisations championing fair work across the country. To be recognised in this way so soon after our accreditation is something we are incredibly proud of.
Being shortlisted in such a strong field is an honour in itself, and we are incredibly proud to stand alongside so many other organisations championing fair work in Scotland.
We’re grateful to our team for their dedication, and to our wider Edge community for supporting us on our Living Wage and Living Hours journey.
