Fundraise for us

Our guests live with challenges on a daily basis. Why not take on a challenge of your own to show your support? Or create your own fundraiser; a bake-off perhaps? Or a pub quiz?

How your fundraising supports Leuchie

It funds respite breaks

Each of our guests' short respite breaks are subsidised by half of what it actually costs to deliver them. This means we need to raise £1.5 million each year to deliver our service.

Our breaks are fantastic for both guests and their carers. Our specialised healthcare is available round the clock, and our venues are equipped with cutting edge technology to make stays as comfortable as possible. 

Both guests and their carers can relax knowing that Leuchie is a safe place to relax, have fun, and switch off. Every pound you raise helps us support more carers to have a break!

It creates experiences

Fundraising enables us to offer so much more than a change of caring environment for our guests. It helps us provide a programme of activities, entertainment and outings.

It means we can provide specialist nursing and 1:1 physiotherapy for our guests, and make health referrals back to the community on their behalf if needed. And, it allows us to provide freshly prepared meals and the chance to socialise in a warm and friendly environment.

It helps us to reach more people

Raised funds mean we can continue to reach as many people as possible ‘beyond the walls’ of Leuchie.

We now have a Leuchie at Home outreach service providing support to people throughout East Lothian, and fully accessible holiday cottages. Our online physiotherapy programs can be altered by guests once they have returned home, in collaboration with our in-house physiotherapist.
