𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁. 𝗔. 𝗗𝗮𝘆! 🌊🏄‍♂️ (...swipe for some serious skills!)

Yesterday, our Life Programme group hit the waves at Pease Bay with Martin and the fantastic team at Momentum Surf School for a supported surf session.

At first, the sea was super calm (not quite what we’d hoped for!) but as the tide turned, so did our luck – and soon the surf was up! 🌊

Every single participant got up on their boards – from knees to standing – showing huge progress, determination, and teamwork throughout the day. 🙌

It wasn’t just about surfing; it was about learning, encouraging one another, and celebrating achievements together. And with some epic photos to prove it, we can safely say: this was one for the memory books!

👨‍🍳 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻!

The Life Programme’s Advanced Cooking group have been pushing their limits with some seriously impressive recipes recently:

🍋 Lemon meringue pie — perfectly balanced sweet & tangy goodness
🥟 Pork & crab dumplings — hand-made parcels packed with flavour
🍗 Crispy fried chicken with a homemade Chick-Fil-A style sauce

And because we hate waste? The leftover meringue became a batch of mini meringues — zero waste, maximum deliciousness 🙌

These complex dishes called for advanced techniques, multi-stage prep, and serious attention to detail — and our crew absolutely smashed it.

🌊 𝗦𝗨𝗣 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 + 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗳𝘂𝗻 = 𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿!

All three Transitions groups hit the paddleboards this week — and the progress has been nothing short of epic.

Year 1 & 2 focused on building confidence and technique, while Year 3 levelled up with some next-stage challenges:

🔵 The SUP Circle game (much trickier than it looks 👀)
⛵ A SUP Sail challenge that turned into…
☂️...the now legendary 𝘜𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘈𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘢 sailing across the lagoons!

Skills, teamwork, balance, and a whole lot of laughs — exactly what paddleboarding at Edge is all about 🙌

25/07/2025

💪 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁 = 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀!

The Life Programme crew took on a huge challenge at The Heugh Community Garden this week — dismantling two massive poly tunnels, including digging the frames out of the ground by hand (no small task!).

They didn’t stop there — they also cleared a mountain of garden waste, showing incredible teamwork, determination, and problem-solving to get the job done.

Hard work? Absolutely. Worth it? 100%! 👏

24/07/2025

🌊 𝗦𝗨𝗣 + 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 + 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀!

The Life Programme crew spent yesterday building confidence and technique on the paddleboards at the Lagoons — working on balance, strokes, and supporting each other every step (or paddle!) of the way.

To round off the day? A mindful walk through the quieter trails of Holyrood Park, soaking up the incredible scenery we’re lucky enough to have on our doorstep.

Because it’s more than paddleboarding — it’s confidence, resilience, and teamwork in action.

📮✉️ 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗹𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘆 — 𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗮!

After last week’s unexpected tech hiccup at the Post Office, our Year 3 crew made a triumphant return today to officially send off the first batch of letters to our new pen pals at Corridor Community Options for Adults in Nova Scotia 🇨🇦💌

Big shoutout to Sam at Musselburgh Post Office (88 High St, Musselburgh) who went above and beyond to help our group — weighing, stamping and chatting us through the whole process. Thanks for making it a great experience 🙌

We’re so excited for our Canadian friends to receive their letters… and even more excited to see what comes through our letterbox in return ✉️🌍

🚆 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀, 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀 & 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀!

Yesterday, our Year 3 Transitions crew took travel training to the next level this week — navigating four different trains, two stations in Dunfermline, and a walk through the city to take in the sights and grab some well-earned lunch.

Crossing the Forth Rail Bridge, seeing the Firth of Forth from a whole new perspective, was epic!!! 🛤️🌊

From route planning, platform changes and managing busy stations to handling unfamiliar environments with confidence — the group smashed it. The journey back through a very busy Edinburgh was no problem at all, with everyone showing brilliant independence and teamwork throughout.

💬 Real-world travel training = real-world confidence.

🌟 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗻𝗲!

Our Year 3 Transitions crew have kicked off a brilliant new community volunteering partnership with the amazing team at Harlawhill Day Care Centre in Prestonpans 🎉

Over the coming months, they'll be helping out with entertainment sessions — from karaoke and concerts to cuppas and conversations — supporting older adults and bringing plenty of energy along with them (𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙡𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙚𝙥𝙞𝙘 𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙨!).

It’s already clear how much this partnership is benefiting both our participants and Harlawhill’s regulars — there’s friendship, laughter, purpose, and connection all around 🙌

We support Asperger’s and high-functioning autistic people, aged 16-35 years, who would like to receive care & support, in their own home.

We specialise in transitioning teenagers and young people.

At Edge, we want to keep our clients at home, in their own community.

Bespoke care packages, for clients with differing needs.

We do not believe that 'one size fits all'.

Decisions about leaving school, employment, socialisation, re-connecting with family, learning a new skill, enhancing a current skill or living independently, we CAN help.

We promote physical activity and encourage participation in new activities.

Specialise in assisting clients to achieve their dream of independent living.

What sets Edge apart, is our decision to work with the whole family, not just the client.

We do not believe in treating the client in isolation.

Linking their shared approach with the client’s support team, our Company Director works directly with parents, siblings and/or carers, to achieve better outcomes for everyone.

Holistic and our staff team have the highest levels of integrity, dignity and respect.

Flexible and dynamic, responsive to our client’s and their family’s needs.

Our staff group: Team Leaders, Senior and Junior Support Workers.

We are - surfers, musicians, skate boarders, snow boarders, cooks, personal trainers, bikers, hikers, wake-boarders and yogis, to name a few.

We are mindful, 'chilled-out' professionals, who specialise in thinking outside the box, about autism.

We always go the extra mile!
