TEENS+ is a 4 year transitional education programme for young people aged 17-24 with complex additional support needs and severe communication problems, who have left school. The programme comprises an extension of the students’ previous education, with emphasis on the transition to a more independent life in the community. The programme is based at the Inch Community Centre, Edinburgh providing an inclusive community environment. It comprises of 4 different elements: learning; communication; life skills; and sports. Stage two of the project, LIFE+, is an education and training programme for people with complex additional support needs and severe communication problems. The project offers the opportunity to try work placements and continue life long learning. LIFE+ builds upon the students' previous education and skills, with an emphasis on training in employability skills, such as: building relationships; negotiation skills; communication skills and time management skills. LIFE+ will continue the students' lifelong learning and all students will participate in the work module - working in a support environment.

Learning skills for everyday life✨

It's the little things that can make a big difference. From helping in the kitchen to learning household tasks, our students are developing practical skills that support greater independence and confidence.

Every achievement is worth celebrating, and we're proud to support students as they build skills for the future!

Trying new things, building confidence, and exploring different cultures🎌🖌️

Recently, our students had the opportunity to take part in a Japanese calligraphy workshop, learning about the art, history, and techniques behind this traditional practice.

The session gave everyone the chance to develop new skills, express their creativity, and experience something completely different.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making the workshop happen. We love creating opportunities for our students to learn, grow, and discover new interests💛

💙 Can You Help Us With a Donation? 💙

We're currently looking for a few specific items that would make a real difference to the activities and opportunities we provide across Teens+.

At the moment, we're looking for:
🪵Spare wood for woodwork projects
🪑Chairs
🧵A sewing machine

Donating unwanted items helps us make the most of our resources while supporting creative, practical and life-skills activities for the young people and adults we work with. It also helps us reduce waste by giving useful items a second life.

If you have any of these items available, or know someone who might be able to help, we'd love to hear from you.

Hello! Bonjour! Hola! Ciao!👋🌍

Today is European Day of Languages, a celebration of the many languages, cultures and ways we communicate with one another.

At Teens+, we know that communication looks different for everyone. What's important is that everyone has the opportunity to express themselves, share their thoughts and be understood in a way that works for them.

Today, we're celebrating communication in all its forms💙
