•participating in the local community
•literacy training
•exercise and sports activities
•tea dances and lunch clubs.
Working in partnership with Borders College on Skills Accreditation training we aim to maximise the independence of each person, and help them with job skills and work placements.  We operate out of 6 locations - or Hubs - in Midlothian including Penicuik, Vogrie, Bonnyrigg, Dalkeith, and Mayfield.
