An Edinburgh charity that has provided vital care for the city’s elderly community for over 80s years has launched an appeal to deliver support to those in need.<br /><br />Established in 1941, LifeCare offers a range of support services for people living with dementia, those with mobility issues and poor mental health and people experiencing isolation and loneliness.<br /><br />Helping approximately 1,000 Edinburgh residents a year, the charity works both at people’s homes and hosts day clubs at the Stockbridge and Portobello hubs where elderly people where they can get a hot meal, enjoy a warm space and socialise with others. <br /><br />But as the winter approaches, older people are faced with difficult choices, making it harder to keep well and warm at home and trickier to safely get out and about.<br /><br />The Edinburgh charity is now calling on local people and businesses to get involved and help raise funds to support LifeCare and those struggling this winter. <br />
