Reimagining Respite
We are the national respite charity giving families a break from the physical and emotional responsibilities of caring for a loved one.
We support individuals and families living with neurological conditions such as MS, MND, Parkinson's and stroke through short respite breaks at Leuchie House in East Lothian, and outreach services.
We're the only charity in the UK to combine specialist nursing, physio and occupational therapy with healthcare technology. We proactively improve health, re-enable independence and reduce the loneliness endured by people with a neurological condition and the loved ones who care for them, while providing families with a respite break.
There’s nowhere like Leuchie
Respite at Leuchie House
Rest and recharge in our East Lothian country house, with 24-hour care, physio, and OT support. Enjoy tailored activities, scenic outings, and home-cooked meals in a comfortable, accessible setting.
Accessible self-catering
Leuchie offers two accessible self-catering properties to help meet the needs of disabled people or people with mobility issues for whom ‘wheelchair access’ just isn’t enough.
Leuchie at Home
We're providing respite beyond the walls of Leuchie House with our Leuchie at Home service, giving carers a break for 2hrs per week, in their own homes.

We are seeing growing demand for our support and exploring how we can help more people in more ways, at Leuchie House and beyond.
