## Activities

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

**What the charity does:** 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.
