The House of Hope Scotland

The House of Hope Scotland ‘The House of Hope’ will be a permanent community-based support and wellbeing centre specifically for those impacted by breast cancer.

House of Hope is a dedicated well-being and support centre for those impacted by breast cancer.

🎭 The Big Variety Benefit for Cancer | 9th Oct 2026, Edinburgh | Tickets: https://www.ticketsource.com/bbdproductions Located within Edinburgh, the centre will provide a haven for users to access funded wellbeing and holistic therapies and services away from the sterile hospital or clinical setting. The centre will offer tailored educational advice on lifestyle choices specific to their diagnosis with breast cancer. One woman is diagnosed every 10 minutes with breast cancer in the UK. The NHS do not have the operational resources nor funding to provide additional holistic care and support for breast cancer patients in and around Edinburgh. This is where The House of Hope will fill the void within Edinburgh and the surrounding area.

🏉 Hope in Your Hands... Scottish Rugby

Our Breast Cancer Nurse Specialist, Rosie, recently spent time with the Scotland Women’s Rugby Team, talking about the importance of checking your breasts, knowing what’s normal for you and being aware of any changes.

Some of the players then came along to the House of Hope to see what we do, meet members of our community and hear more about the support available to people impacted by breast cancer. 💜

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Rosie has one simple message: get to know what’s normal for you and check your breasts regularly.

Because spotting a change starts with knowing your own body.

Noticed a change in your breast or chest but feel frightened, embarrassed or tempted to wait and see if it goes away?

For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Dr Punam Krishan explains why it is important to act on any new or unusual change.

The earlier you speak to your GP, the sooner it can be investigated. You are not wasting anyone’s time by getting something checked.

If you have noticed a change, please make an appointment with your GP.

Every day, people walk through the doors of the House of Hope looking for support, connection and somewhere they can feel welcome.

That's where our volunteers make such a difference. 💜

We're looking for kind, friendly people who can spare just a couple of hours each week to welcome visitors, offer a wee cuppa, listen with empathy and help create the warm, supportive atmosphere we're known for.

You don't need to have been impacted by breast cancer. If you're approachable, compassionate and enjoy helping others feel at ease, we'd love to hear from you.

Alongside welcoming visitors, there may also be opportunities to lend a hand with small tasks around the House.

If you'd like to become part of our volunteer team, we'd love to hear from you. Visit our website to find out more or get in touch with us. Email: [email protected].

A lot can change in a year...

When we last made a film about The House of Hope, we were telling the story of why the House was created and the gap in support we wanted to help fill.

More than a year later, the House has grown – new sessions, new groups, new friendships and, most importantly, many more people coming through our doors.

So for our new film, we wanted to tell the story through them.

The House of Hope: Built Around People shares the experiences of some of the people who use the House, what they’ve found here and why support beyond clinical treatment can matter so much.

There are emotional moments, but there’s also plenty of laughter, because that’s just as much a part of the House.

We premiered the film at our Strictly for Hope Gala Ball, and as Breast Cancer Awareness Month begins, we’re proud to share it more widely.

This week’s Thank You Thursday goes to another fantastic team from Lloyds Banking Group Banking Group. 💛

As part of their Day to Make a Difference, the team rolled up their sleeves and tackled some of the less glamorous (but very necessary!) jobs around the House.

They cleaned the outside drains and window frames, gave our yoga studio a good scrub and helped us with the big clean-up after the Strictly for Hope Gala Ball.

Lloyds teams have given us so much practical support over recent months, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has spent a day with us and got stuck in.
Thank you for helping us keep the House looking its best and ready to welcome our community.

If your organisation would like to spend a volunteering day with us, we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch to find out how your team can get involved: https://www.houseofhope.org.uk/volunteer-with-us
