L'Arche Edinburgh
L'Arche Edinburgh supports people with learning disabilities in Leith and Restalrig.
L'Arche Edinburgh is a community of approximately 80 people located in the Leith and Restalrig areas of Scotland's capital city. The organization provides support to sixteen individuals with learning disabilities, offering a mix of residential options including supported living houses where residents share homes with other people with learning disabilities and live-in assistants, as well as independent living arrangements in private flats for four people. This community welcomes volunteers, friends, neighbors, and L'Arche assistants who contribute to the group's mission. Situated in the busy north east of Edinburgh, which includes the historic dock district, the community is easily accessible by bus, with the airport reachable by tram in just an hour. Edinburgh city centre is nearby, offering numerous cultural and entertainment options such as cinemas, theatres, cafes, museums, and the famous August Festival.

The organization aims to transform lives for people with and without learning disabilities by sharing life together, emphasizing that the best way to understand their work is through the stories of life-changing relationships within the community.
