We are a Community of around 80 people, based in the Leith and Restalrig area of Scotland’s capital city.
Leith is a busy neighbourhood in the north east of Edinburgh and includes the old dock district. L’Arche has long-standing connections to faith communities and other community groups in the area.
It’s easy to get around the city by bus, and the airport is just an hour away by tram. Edinburgh city centre is close by, and there’s always lots to do, from cinemas, theatres, cafes, museums and of course the famous Festival in August.
L’Arche Edinburgh includes fifteen people with learning disabilities who we support at home, as well as volunteers, friends, neighbours and L’Arche assistants. We have a mix of supported living houses, where the people we support share their home with other people with learning disabilities and with live-in assistants. We also support four people to live more independently in their own flats.
