For ten years, Edge Group Scotland has been helping young adults who have learning disabilities, are autistic and/or have other additional support needs (ASN) go further — further in their confidence, independence, skills and aspirations.
Now, as we celebrate our tenth year, we're going further together.
On 10th and 11th September 2026, TeamEdge and programme participants will take on the Edge to Edge Expedition — a unique stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) challenge across Scotland's Lowland Canal Network, supported by Scottish Canals.
Over two days, the team will paddle over 50 miles, including the iconic Falkirk Wheel, all with one shared goal: creating more opportunities for the young adults we support.
Why Are We Doing This?
The Edge to Edge Expedition is about much more than paddling from one side of Scotland to the other.
It is about celebrating ten years of impact while helping create opportunities for the years ahead.
Every day, we support young adults to build confidence, develop practical life skills, gain real-world experience and take meaningful steps towards greater independence.
Many of the opportunities that make the biggest difference happen beyond the classroom — volunteering placements, employability experiences, community projects, outdoor learning, travel training and accredited learning opportunities across East Lothian, Edinburgh and beyond.
The Edge to Edge Expedition reflects the same qualities we encourage every day: determination, resilience, teamwork, confidence and a willingness to embrace new challenges.
Throughout the expedition, TeamEdge and programme participants will paddle side-by-side, demonstrating what can be achieved when people are given opportunities to grow, develop and believe in their own potential.
Why We're Fundraising
As our specialist supported programmes continue to grow, so does the need for transport.
Transport is much more than simply getting from A to B.
It is often the key that unlocks opportunity.
Every week, our programme participants travel to access volunteering opportunities, employability experiences, outdoor activities, community projects and accredited learning opportunities that help build confidence, independence and future-ready skills.
Funds raised through the Edge to Edge Expedition will contribute towards a much-needed third minibus, helping us create more opportunities, more experiences and more pathways towards independence for the young adults we support.
How You Can Help
Every donation, no matter the size, will help move us closer to our goal.
If you're unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with friends, family, colleagues and your wider network is another fantastic way to support the expedition.
Our goal is to raise £20,000 towards a third minibus and the future growth of opportunities for the young adults we support.
Together, we can help create more opportunities for young adults to go further.
Thank you for your support.
