In view of the escalating situation with Coronavirus, and with the safety of our clients and staff top of mind, the Ecas board has made the difficult decision to immediately suspend activities, including the grants fund, until further notice.
We will continue to monitor the situation and let you know when our activities and services resume.
Following the latest directive from the government, our offices are currently closed with staff working remotely. To reach us, please email hello@ecas.scot or call 07500 221618. Messages left on our landline answerphone unfortunately will not be picked up.
