Charity registered in Scotland SC047116

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 (often due to recent changes to the benefits system) 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.
