The Eric Liddell Community is an Edinburgh-based care charity and community hub founded in 1980 in memory of Olympic gold medallist and missionary Eric Liddell. It was set up by four Edinburgh churches to provide community services to people of all ages and circumstances. Its main work supports people living with dementia, including a specialist weekday Dementia Day Care Service, and provides a wellbeing programme for unpaid carers. Its Community Hub in the former North Morningside Church in Morningside, Edinburgh, hosts health, wellbeing and community activities, a café, and rooms for hire. The charity's vision is a community where no one feels lonely or isolated. It also runs The Eric Liddell 100, an international legacy initiative celebrating Eric Liddell's life and values. The charity is a Scottish registered charity (SC003147) and is supported by individual donors, corporate partners, funders and volunteers.
