Thanks for taking the time to visit the Pike + Bambridge JustGiving page.

This year P+B have decided to enter a team in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival and 4 of our team will be running in the Relay. We wanted to do something a little different and give back to our community.

We've chosen to team up with Leuchie House to support the service and continued amazing care that they provide to their guests.

What is Leuchie House? Specialising in providing vital respite breaks for people living with the devastating effects of multiple sclerosis and other long term conditions. Feelings of isolation, the loss of independence and a decrease in opportunities are common challenges faced by our guests.

Leuchie is the ONLY respite centre of its kind in Scotland, and one of only a few available in the UK, able to deliver such complex clinical care, in a friendly, comfortable and non-clinical environment.

Leuchie offers a unique holiday experience that aims to improve the social, emotional and physical well-being of our guests while being fully supported by 24 hour nurse-led care. As well as expert care, we offer revitalising physiotherapy, delicious food, fun activities and outings, and the chance to socialise and meet new people – everything a holiday should be irrespective of one’s condition.

Short respite breaks are a lifeline for most people with long term conditions and for the people who care for them – usually a spouse or other family member. For many carers the demands of a 24/7 caring role can leave them at breaking point. A respite break is an opportunity for them to have time away from their caring responsibilities, knowing that the person they usually look after is receiving round-the-clock care and the opportunity to socialise and enjoy themselves.
