The Eric Liddell Community is a local care charity and Community Hub. We are on a mission to bring people together in their local community to improve their health and wellbeing and have a positive impact on their lives. Our vision is to live in a community where no one is lonely or isolated.

Story

Each week, 70 of Edinburgh’s most vulnerable pensioners use our dementia daycare service. They spend the day participating in stimulating activities, making friends and enjoying a wholesome meal. This vital service helps our clients retain quality of life and gives their carers some respite. Our befriending service supports unpaid carers by matching them with trained volunteers who offer them companionship and a break from their challenging role. We provide other carer support activities to help them manage their stress.

A gift from you can help us continue our role as a community resource and provider of support for people touched by a diagnosis of dementia.

Donations at all levels make a big difference to us
