It\u2019s the perfect chance to enjoy a relaxed afternoon with friends, family, or neighbours \u2013 all while supporting a fantastic local cause.<\/p>\n<p>But this event is more than just tea and treats \u2013 every ticket sold will directly support LifeCare\u2019s urgent fundraising appeal to keep the Hub running. With rapidly rising costs, the charity is calling on the community to help protect the services so many people rely on.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Van Putten, CEO of LifeCare said <strong>\u201cThe LifeCare Hub is a lifeline for thousands across the city.\u00a0 Whether it\u2019s classes for isolated older adults, support for unpaid carers, or just a welcoming place to connect, the Hub brings people together. \u00a0This Afternoon Tea is a chance to enjoy a lovely afternoon whilst helping us secure the Hub\u2019s future.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Hub, which first opened in 1975 as \u2018Stockbridge House\u2019, now welcomes over 47,000 visits a year, offering 80+ weekly activities for all ages. As a charity, LifeCare works hard to ensure that its services are affordable or free, so no one is left out.<\/p>\n<p>Afternoon Tea Details:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>LifeCare Hub, 2 Cheyne Street, Stockbridge EH4 1JB<\/li>\n<li>1230pm Thursday 4th September 2025<\/li>\n<li>To book, call 0131 343 0940 or pop into the Hub<\/li>\n<li>\u00a315 per person including a small donation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Spaces are limited and expected to sell out fast \u2013 so early booking is strongly advised.<\/p>\n<p>Visits <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifecare-edinburgh.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.lifecare-edinburgh.org.uk<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"609846\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/theedinburghreporter.co.uk\/2025\/08\/eat-cake-for-a-good-causelifecares-afternoon-tea-is-served\/lifecare-afternoon-tea-pic-2-jpg\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/theedinburghreporter.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/LifeCare-Afternoon-Tea-pic-2-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1920,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"LifeCare-Afternoon-Tea-pic-2.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/theedinburghreporter.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/LifeCare-Afternoon-Tea-pic-2-225x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/LifeCare-Afternoon-Tea-pic-2-768x1024.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/LifeCare-Afternoon-Tea-pic-2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-609846\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"m-a-box-avatar-url\" href=\"https:\/\/theedinburghreporter.co.uk\/author\/a-reporter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1754978595_517_5e70bf7fb6fd770d9dab6662433d2b6c9104d4cd2469b9d2c0bf72c3f98b453b\"  class=\"avatar avatar-100 photo\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" itemprop=\"image\"\/><\/a>Like this:<\/p>\n<p>Like Loading&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"sd-link-color\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\tRelated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following a sell-out success in March, local charity LifeCare Edinburgh is delighted to announce the return of its&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":337707,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8816],"tags":[748,1102,120670,4154,4155,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-337706","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-edinburgh","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-edinburgh","10":"tag-edinburgh-charity-news","11":"tag-edinburgh-local-news","12":"tag-edinburgh-news","13":"tag-great-britain","14":"tag-scotland","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115014284535395228","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=337706"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337706\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/337707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=337706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=337706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=337706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
