The Action Group is about ‘no barriers – for all of life.’ We offer support and advice to over 1700 children, young people and adults across East Central Scotland. Our vision is that families caring for a person with a learning disability and individuals who have a learning disability and other support needs encounter no barriers to their chosen lifestyle; can follow a path of choice; and can enrich their opportunities.
We provide Supported Employment for people with support needs: Learning Disability, Autism, Mental Health issues, and other long term health conditions. At present funded only in Edinburgh as part of the All in Edinburgh service, by the City of Edinburgh Council.
The people we support need us to help them find and sustain paid employment. Anything that helps employers to help them achieve that goal has got to be positive!
