An update on our Golden Years Service

It is with regret that we share the news our Golden Years service is closing in the spring of 2025.

As two significant grants come to an end simultaneously we are no longer able to continue delivering our much beloved service.

We know that lots of people across Edinburgh who have found company and solace at our Golden Years events, lunch clubs, and community groups will now be looking for that support elsewhere. We are doing our utmost to signpost all of our attendees and clients to other projects in the area who may be able to provide that support. 

It is with great sadness that we will be saying goodbye to our brilliant volunteer befrienders and the staff that support them. They have worked tirelessly over the years to provide consistently high quality, compassionate support to older people in our community, and we wish them the very best and thank them for their service.

Whilst we are saddened by this loss, we are proud of the work that has been done and are working hard to look at viable options that will allow the lunch clubs to continue within the community and will share updates as and when we have further information.

If you have any questions about this service closure, and what it might mean for you, please contact us at BenHall@cyrenians.scot or AmyKarp@cyrenians.scot
