Our Capital Appeal is enabling us to protect, sustain and future-proof the level of care we are able to deliver over the coming decades to some of the most vulnerable members of society. We receive no statutory funding for the upkeep of our buildings and we need your help!

As part of the Capital Appeal we are undertaking extensive internal and external works which focus on our main, Grade II listed building, Westbrook House, which is home to 43 of our residents. The external works will cost £1.1 million and it will see the replacement or repair of 90 windows, 14 French doors, repairs to our roof, rendering and redecoration to the whole building.

Be part of our story and sponsor a roof tile!

Each tile will enable us to repair the historic roof of our home ensuring the long term preservation of our beautiful Grade II building. We are using reclaimed, handmade clay roof tiles installed by specialist contractors on which you can write a message of support!

Suggested donation is £15 per tile, please send your message to fundraising@meath.org.uk and we will write it for you!

The Meath’s beautiful site has a long and interesting history. It was home, in the 17th century to General James Oglethorpe, an army man with a great humanitarian vision, who sailed to America in 1732 and founded the state of Georgia as a place where the ‘worthy poor’ could ‘remake their lives’.

The site was purchased in 1892 by a Victorian philanthropist, Mary, Countess of Meath, to be converted into a ‘safe and happy home’ for women and girls affected by epilepsy. Nowadays, The Meath no longer admits children, but offers modern housing and support services to both women and men aged 19 +. We dispense over 420,000 doses of medication annually yet despite this, the people we support experienced over 11,000 seizures.

Please help us to continue our founder's remarkable legacy of providing a ‘safe and happy home’ for many more years to come.
