Impact: making better things happen
Ecas has been improving the lives of physically disabled people in and around Edinburgh, since 1902. Over the years, our services have evolved in response to those who most benefit from what we do.
A recent review of our Activities
Ecas groups and activities are open to adults with physical disabilities living in Edinburgh and Lothian. All our groups are weekly and take place in accessible venues around Edinburgh. Most are also available online.
All our groups give you a great opportunity to improve your health and wellbeing, learn new skills and meet others. Ecas provides all materials, whether you join us in person or online.
A recent review of our Befriending Service
Ecas operates a befriending service for physically disabled adults in Edinburgh. Our befriending service seeks to provide friendship and companionship for socially isolated adults, providing someone for conversation, friendship and some fun.
