Reimagining Respite

We are the national respite charity giving families a break from the physical and emotional responsibilities of caring for a loved one.

Trust

What we do

We support individuals and families living with neurological conditions such as MS, MND, Parkinson's and stroke through short respite breaks 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.

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.

Get involved

The Leuchie Easter Egg Hunt is back with another egg-cellent opportunity for a day out with the family!

Join us for some Easter fun with an egg hunt, games and activities on Saturday 19th April. There’s plenty of fun to be had for everyone on the Leuchie grounds this Easter and be sure to keep an eye out for the Easter Bunny as he visits Leuchie this year!
