The Ridge 

Remit : Dunbar 

Age range : 11 - 18 years old 

What the Service Does: 

In Dunbar and the surrounding villages it can be especially hard to find jobs, and to access support and training. We are 30 miles away from Edinburgh and the cost of public transport makes working and training in Edinburgh and its outskirts prohibitively expensive.

The problems faced by the more vulnerable members of our community whether it be substance abuse, mental health issues, or issues arising from poverty are all exacerbated by Dunbar’s poor public transport system. The Ridge aims to provide local, effective, personalised and holistic support for local people to help them move beyond dependency towards contribution and fulfilment

Services : Across the Ridge, we aim to create jobs and training opportunities, primarily in Dunbar. We value our local heritage, in terms of both the natural and the built environment, and want to make sure that the current and future generations are able to appreciate and care for it.
