Garvald Edinburgh
For over fifty years, Garvald Edinburgh has provided opportunities and support for adults with learning disabilities in the Lothian area. With an approach based on the ideas of Rudolf Steiner, we deliver meaningful development, high-standard care, and safe spaces where our members can explore their creative potential. We are a warm and friendly community, and when you join, support, or buy our products you share in our important journey.
At Garvald, we believe everyone is unique, has value and the potential to grow.
We aim to create a supportive community, built around individual value and mutual respect. We deliver first-class care and a level of support that gives our members the confidence to learn new things and push themselves further.
Our working environments provide meaning, structure and stability. They are calm spaces where we encourage care for the world around us. This nourishes the senses and develops a feeling of community that may otherwise be difficult for our members to experience.
Our wide variety of workshops, led by expert practitioners with the finest materials, offers our members quality and choice. Alongside making beautiful handcrafted products, they build skills and receive recognition for their work.
This approach has a transformative effect, empowering our members through the community they become part of and the things they create.
Garvald operates day services across five locations, with a shop in Morningside, Garvald Makers; stocking even more products created in the workshops. The shop continues to offer our members the opportunity to gain retail experience in a busy, trading shop.
