Community Helpline

Aim: ARC aims to empower people in East Lothian through inclusive accessible and timely support by launching a vital community helpline.

Support us in raising money for our community helpline!

(ARC) is a newly established grassroots charity based in East Lothian, Scotland. We are committed to supporting individuals and families—particularly women, children, and ethnic minority communities—by providing inclusive, culturally sensitive services that promote wellbeing, equality, and resilience.

Although our vision is clear and our plans are in place, we have not yet been able to launch our services due to a lack of funding. That’s why this fundraising effort is so critical.

Our first major goal is to establish a Community Helpline—a vital service that will offer confidential, multilingual support to people in crisis. This helpline will be a safe, accessible point of contact for those facing challenges or crisis. It will also connect callers to local services and resources, helping them take the next steps toward safety and stability.

With your support, we can bring this essential service to life and begin building a stronger, more compassionate community. Every donation helps us take a step closer to opening our doors and making a real difference.
