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 like-minded 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.
Impact
More than a book group
Sometimes we call it our Book Group but Ecas’ Reading and Creative Writing Group is so much more than that and new members are always welcome
