Vital funding has been secured to open Scotland's first college for school leavers with complex needs.
The college will open in a newly refurbished wing of charity Capability Scotland's existing Corseford School Campus, near Johnstone in Renfrewshire, and will offer bespoke learning for each of the 18-25-year-olds as well as having sensory suites, a specialist pool, rebound therapy using full-sized trampolines and outdoor learning spaces.
The charity said the creation of Corseford College will be "transformational" for the lives of 15 young people who will be its first intake of students. The Scottish Government has now pledged £316,000 for the first year of delivery, after the charity has invested £250,000 into the project.
