Loneliness Awareness Week starts now.

Edinburgh is the loneliest city in the UK. As many as 33% of Edinburgh citizens do not feel that they are involved or feel part of the community. We are proud to be tackling this every day. Lorraine's story is just one of many that displays the power of connection and importance of community.

Small moments of connection can make a difference, why not ask someone one of the following:
How are you really feeling today?
What helps you feel connected?
What’s something small that made you smile this week?

At LifeCare, we host free weekly community events, from chatty cafe, craft in the cafe and more. Why not pop along? No booking is required 🙂

Got something that’s broken? Want to try fixing it but not sure how?

Repair Café is a free community event where you can bring your item and volunteer fixers will guide you through your repair.

Sunday 28th this month, Repair Café Edinburgh will be at the LifeCare community hub at 2 Cheyne Street, Stockbridge.

Repair Café volunteers will be on hand to help you to repair your broken electrical, electronic and mechanical devices such as toys, small / low-voltage electricals, laptops. We’ll have experts who can help you with bicycles, and our fabrics and clothing fixers will be here too.

Our café will be open for breakfast rolls, and refreshments☕

Want to learn how to fix something? The event is free, but we’re limited by time, spare parts, safety and capacity.
Please book in advance to check suitability and avoid disappointment!
Unfortunately not everything is fixable at our events to avoid disappointment we encourage you to email us at [email protected] with your questions and to reserve your place. Or just turn up on the day and we’ll try to take a look.

We've been caring for carers for over 85 years.

As an unpaid carer, it’s important to get a well deserved break. LifeCare services can provide care, support and respite.

Thanks to Shared Care Scotland Short Breaks Fund, we have a programme of free health and wellbeing activities for unpaid carers at The LifeCare Centre in Stockbridge.
Visit our website for more details on how we can help https://www.lifecare-edinburgh.org.uk/services/support-for-carers/
