Looking for a meaningful way to bring your team together? 😄
This #VolunteersWeek, we’re inviting you and your colleagues to roll up your sleeves, step out of the office, and spend a day making a difference at The Donaldson Trust.
You might get your hands dirty creating a sensory garden or improving one of our woodland walks. Or you might be handy with a paintbrush! We’ve got a whole host of projects you can do to improve wellbeing areas for the children, young people and adults we support to enjoy. 🌳🎨
It’s team building with purpose – and we’d love to have you on board!
Interested in joining us? Email us at: GetInvolved@donaldsons.org.uk to find out more. 📧

Class Chestnut and Oak in our Sensational Learning Centre recently had a fantastic introduction to orienteering thanks to Mairi from @forthvalleyorienteers! 😄🌳
It was a brilliant way to build teamwork, problem-solving, and map-reading skills – all while enjoying the fresh air and having fun together.
Thanks to Mairi’s inspiring session, we now have everything we need to continue orienteering independently – and we’re excited to keep practising our new skills soon! 👏
In honour of #VolunteersWeek, we would like to say a big THANK YOU to our dedicated Trustees and Advisory Board Members. 😊
Behind the scenes, they provide invaluable guidance and support, ensuring the smooth operation and growth of our organisation. We are deeply grateful for their contributions and the significant impact they make in driving our mission forward.
Thank you for your dedication and hard work. 👏

After a very exciting visit from the Linlithgow Marches & Deacons Court recently, the countdown is officially on and Marches preparations are well underway! 🥳
The children, young people and trainees have been working very hard over the last few weeks on our float for the procession and they can`t wait to show it off. Can you guess what our theme for this year`s float may be?
Let’s just say our float is beaming with colour, creativity, and a few curious life forms… 👽🎪

Over the past few weeks, the children and young people in our Sensational Learning Centre had the chance to set sail with the wonderful team at the Seagull Trust – enjoying an unforgettable cruise along the canal. 🛥⚓
From a trip on the Falkirk Wheel to even driving the boat themselves, it was the perfect setting to step outside the classroom and into a new adventure. One of the young people even created this brilliant time lapse of their journey!
Outdoor experiences like this offer so much – they help support wellbeing, spark curiosity, and create meaningful, hands-on learning moments. 🥰
A huge thank you to the Seagull Trust for yet another fantastic trip!

Pawel, from our Treehouse service, has been busy building his confidence and life skills through hands-on activities! 🔧
Using a range of tools, he got to work to craft a wooden box from raw materials – seeing first-hand how something simple can be transformed into something useful. Making the most of the sunshine, he also helped paint the garden gates, taking real pride in completing a practical job that benefits others.
Activities like these foster a genuine sense of accomplishment – and Pawel embraced every moment. 😄
For neurodivergent adults who require individualised support, Treehouse offers a low-arousal environment. With a focus on communications skills, individuals can embrace change and enjoy new experiences. Learn more on our website by clicking the link in our bio. 🔗

We’d like to say a huge congratulations to the @adhdfoundation and to Eddie and the team at @dsscotland for their incredible success at this year’s @the_rhs Chelsea Flower Show! 🌸
At The Donaldson Trust, we know just how powerful nature and gardening can be for the wellbeing of the people we support – whether it’s growing vegetables, learning new skills, or simply being in a green space.
It’s fantastic to see neurodivergent voices and inclusive design being recognised and celebrated on such a big stage. It’s a timely reminder that when environments are designed with care and creativity, everyone can thrive. 👏
