Make a Donation Towards the Running of the North Berwick Day Centre

(Charity Number: SC028007) Although we receive a grant from East Lothian Council to help pay for Staff salaries, there are many other expenses involved in running the Day Centre. Any donations will help to support members, their carers and families.

You can make an on-line donation (with Gift Aid if appropriate) via the Charity Aid Foundation (CAF).

How the Day Centre is Funded

From our inception we have been funded by an annual grant from East Lothian Council (ELC).

In January 2024 the annual grant was replaced by a contract with East Lothian Health and Social Care Partnership (ELH&SCP). We submitted a response to the tender for Day Services that replaced previous grant funding arrangements. We were delighted that we were successful in securing the contract. It requires us to provide a service in line with the standards set out within the contract and this is subject to quarterly monitoring review. This contract runs until 31st March 2026 when it is subject to review.

In order to meet our costs this core funding income, whilst welcome, has to be supplemented by donations, legacies, member contributions and fundraising events such as coffee mornings etc. We are particularly grateful for the funding we have received from North Berwick Community Trust and Friends of the Edington which has enabled us to create and expand our Reach Out service.
