Building Community with people with learning disabilities in Edinburgh

How we help

Shared living

We have three houses in the Leith and Restalrig areas of Edinburgh where people with learning disabilities and assistants live together.

Independent Living

Four of our core members live in their own flats in Leith, with a team of assistants providing visiting and sleepover support to meet each person’s individual needs.

Why volunteer

Help support our work

L'Arche is a collaboration of people's gifts, expertise, resources and time. We bring people together who are not prepared to accept the status quo, but instead are inspired to want more for people with learning disabilities, and for society. Please help us to transform lives today.
