About Leuchie
Leuchie is the national respite charity giving families a break from the physical and emotional responsibilities of caring for a loved one. The charity is dedicated to supporting individuals and families living with a neurological condition such as MS, MND, Parkinson’s and stroke through short respite breaks and outreach services. The expert team work to transform lives by improving health, enabling independence, and tackling loneliness.
Leuchie provides a range of settings that suit the health needs and circumstances of the individual and their family. These include short breaks with 24-hour nursing and care, therapies, social activities and outings at Leuchie House, accessible self-catering accommodation for all the family or regular at-home support.
Through innovative partnership working and research, Leuchie is reimagining the delivery of respite as a way of meeting wider health and social care outcomes for the families it supports.
Dorothy is 98 and a carer for her 68 year old son Robert who has multiple sclerosis. This is what Leuchie means to her- “It gives me a rest and some peace. It also helps me carry on by having something to look forward to.”
There is a growing need to support those living with a neurological condition and their families that Leuchie is determined to respond to. The charity currently supports around 500 families, just like Dorothy and Robert, each year, and has a strategic intent to positively impact ten times as many lives by 2030.
