With your support, we can deliver the positive care older people need to ensure they keep warm and well and thrive at home.  

Help us deliver free hot meals

More than half of older people have been forced to change their eating habits due to the cost-of-living crisis, increasing their risk of malnutrition.

With your help we can deliver free, hot, nutritious meals to older people on low incomes this winter through our Meals on Wheels service.

With your help we can make sure unpaid carers in Edinburgh get the support they need by offering respite care for their loved ones at our Day clubs and through our Outreach service, taking away the pressure of cooking with our Meals on Wheels service and relieving them of the burden of housework and shopping with our Help at Home service.
