Upmo are an Edinburgh-based charity that provides support and opportunity for adults with learning disabilities andautism across Edinburgh, East Lothian and Midlothian. Upmo was founded in 2006 by Josh Barton and inspired bythe belief that services for adults could truly be exciting, dynamic and meaningful.
In 2006, adults with learning disabilities lacked opportunities in higher education and there was a lack ofunderstanding around individual needs. Those who understood the needs of service users operated with limitedscope to encourage, inspire and motivate. As a result, many service users were isolated and desperately in needof opportunities to become more socially engaged, active and valued.
The response from Upmo was combining progressive learning within an educational curriculum and the development ofsupport service provision – placing the needs of students at the heart of services. Distinguishing themselves byadopting an unconventional approach, Upmo provides custom-tailored support services alongside a well-regardedcurriculum featuring creative workshops, educational activities, and vocational programs. The charity has alsoexpanded its impact through a growing number of social enterprises aimed at creating job opportunities andpreparing students for employment.
