Networking Lunch Raises Funds for Leuchie

Networking Lunch Raises Funds for Leuchie

Medway Care Services was delighted to host a Networking Lunch – Celebrating the Power of Respite Care on 28th November, generously hosted by Murrayfield Care Home.

The event brought together professionals and community members with an interest in social care and community health services, providing a fantastic opportunity to network, share experiences, and discuss the vital role of respite care in supporting families.

A special thank you to Katy and Matt for sharing such a powerful insight into the incredible work Leuchie is doing. Their presentation truly resonated with everyone in the room and highlighted the real impact your charity has on individuals and families across Scotland.

As part of the event, attendees participated in a raffle with fantastic prizes sponsored by Melville Castle, The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland and Leuchie helping to raise funds for Leuchie, The National Respite Charity. We are very grateful to our raffle prize sponsors for their generous donations. Leuchie provides essential respite care for individuals with neurological conditions and their families, giving them much-needed breaks and support. The event managed to raise over £400 in total.

For those who were unable to attend, donations could also be made via Medway Care Services’ JustGiving page, ensuring everyone had the chance to contribute to this important cause.

Medway Care Services are thrilled with the success of our networking event and it was wonderful to see so many people come together to celebrate and support this vital charity.

Thank you to everyone who attended, purchased raffle tickets, or donated online. Your support is helping families access the respite care they need and deserve.
