Who can come along to the drop-ins and courses?

We welcome anyone who does not have a job; if you are homeless or in temporary accommodation, we would love you to come along. If you do have a job, but still feel isolated you are welcome to come along.

If you have a job, you can also do the ECDL or the Beginners IT course.

How to Apply

You are welcome to come along to a drop-in at any time. Feel free to bring a friend or a support worker along with you.

If you would like to meet us first, or have any questions, feel free to give us a call on 0131 625 5411 and ask for Tim, Margaret, Jane, Helena or Jess.

Because the aim of the groups is to equip people to make their own choices we actively support people in planning the next move. We have established links with local colleges as well as links with local employers. Should anyone need more specialist advice or help we are happy to source other agencies and refer on.
