Leila takes on Abseil Challenge for Empty Kitchens Full Hearts

EMPTY Kitchens Full Hearts wonderful Engagement Manager Leila is taking on this abseil challenge ❤️

If you visit EKFH, you’ll see Leila hard at work with our Engagement volunteers, making more than 60 wellbeing calls every week!

Leila speaks to our service users regularly – checking in to see how they are doing, and what more we can do to support them. This could be linking a family to a local clothing bank, putting a person in touch with an benefits check service, or issuing a foodbank voucher for household essentials.

Now, Leila is taking on the Port of Leith Distillery Abseil Challenge – 131ft for EKFH 🌟

Every Meal Matters: Support Empty Kitchens Full Hearts Winter Appeal

SUPPORT LOCAL CHARITY’s WORK in 2026

On Friday, we hosted our Christmas Community Lunch – complete with Christmas ham, honey roast veg and of course some Christmas crackers 🌟

But a community lunch is not just for Christmas! We host a community lunch for 50 local people every Friday here in Granton, encouraging people to enjoy good food together.

Next week, our team will still be cooking, packing and delivering meal packs to people in need across Edinburgh ❤️

We know Christmas can be a difficult time of year – with greater pressure on finances and many people feeling socially isolated. Each meal pack tells a person that someone is thinking of them this Christmas.

If you’d like to support our work in 2026, please donate to our Winter Appeal ❤️

Our community lunch returns for 2026 on the 2nd of January.

Please note that there is no community lunch on Friday the 26th of December.
