Families & Carers
Garvald Edinburgh offers a diverse range of quality services for women and men with learning disabilities aged 16 and over.
We have experience of supporting people with a range of needs/syndromes including Autism, Down’s Syndrome, Fragile X, Epilepsy, Prader Willi Syndrome and Dual Diagnosis as well as physical and communication difficulties. We provide a warm, friendly environment where people interact and make friends. Our aim is to have a genuine and positive impact on people’s lives.
We use an approach called Talking Points which focuses on what people want to achieve. Follow this link for our results Day-service-outcome-measures-for-95-service-users-over-2015 (1)
There is real warmth in the community, and a really nice atmosphere – It quite uplifting really! The best thing about being a volunteer at Garvald is that you get more out of it than you can ever put in. The members teach me as I help them – each thing is beautiful and unique in its own way.
