Ecas is a charity that supports people in Edinburgh and Lothian who have a physical disability. We have done so for over 100 years: promoting equality choice and participation through our activities, befriending service and grants. Our activities provide an opportunity to learn new skills and meet likeminded people, our befriending service reduces loneliness and isolation, and our grants support physically disabled people to access things that are otherwise beyond their financial reach.
