About Ecas

Supporting adults with physical disabilities since 1902

Ecas supports adults with physical disabilities in Edinburgh and Lothian. We’ve done so for over 100 years.

The Ecas mission is to promote equality, choice and participation for physically disabled people through our activities, befriending service and grants. We provide opportunities for people to be self-fulfilled and to participate in all aspects of society. We also work to promote disability equality throughout society.
