Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'any other purpose that may reasonably be regarded as analogous to any of the preceding purposes'

SEAG provided accessible community transport across Edinburgh for people who cannot use ordinary public transport: older adults, disabled people, and those with learning difficulties, mental health conditions or dementia. We operated a fleet of 16 minibuses adapted with lifts, removable seating and safety features. Drivers held MIDAS qualifications and passenger assistants were trained in passenger assistance and first aid. Services were delivered to 17 regular contract users including day centres and special needs schools, and to 17 library services. On 31 March 2026 SEAG's activities transferred to Handicabs (Lothian) Limited, Scottish Charity SC013906, following OSCR consent to wind up granted on 14 October 2024. The charity is now in the process of being wound up and OSCR will be notified once dissolution is complete.

Beneficiaries: 'Older People','People with disabilities or health problems','Other defined groups','No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'

Objectives: (i) to relieve those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage through, in particular, the provision of a transport service which is accessible and specially adapted to meet the needs of the disabled, frail, elderly and mentally ill. and to advance community development by enabling voluntary organisations, community groups, charities, or those carrying out activities in furtherance of charitable purposes to carry out those activities by providing a transport service and in particular one that is designed to meet the needs of the community and to increase the involvement of individuals in community activity. and (ii) to promote such similar charitable purposes, objects or institutions and in such proportions and manner as the Directors shall think fit. The expressions 'charitable purpose' or 'charitable object' shall mean a charitable purpose under section 7 of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 which is also regarded as a charitable purpose in relation to the application of the Taxes Acts and a 'charitable institution' shall mean a body on the Scottish Charity Register which is also regarded as a charity in relation to the application of the Taxes Acts or a charity within the meaning of section 1 of the Charities Act 2006 or section 1 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 provided that its objects are limited to charitable purposes.
