Edge Transitions Programme

Edge Transitions Programme offers a full-time, specialist supported day programme for school leavers with ASN who need a more holistic, vocational approach to support their transition to adulthood.

Our mission is to motivate change, develop independence and support the transition to adulthood in a practical and supportive life-skills programme.
