I am proud to be a Trustee of LifeCare Edinburgh, a charity with an 80-year history of supporting local older people across Edinburgh. Our charity's vision is a city where no older person is alone or isolated, where they can thrive, and are active members of their communities. Our mission is to ensure that every older person receives the best possible care, companionship, and advice they need to live well and independently in their own homes for longer.

On 7th June 2024 I will be participating in the Great North Swim 2024, to raise funds for LifeCare. I will be taking part in the 2 mile swim on Lake Windermere, and I hope that every stroke will contribute to making a difference in the lives of older people in Edinburgh.

My family has benefited from the services provided by LifeCare, and I want to help to ensure that this wonderful organisation can go from strength to strength, so that others can also benefit for years to come.

Any support you can offer will be hugely appreciated.

Thank you!
