ARC is very new grassroots charity based in East Lothian, Scotland, dedicated to empowering marginalised individuals and families. We work with people facing social, economic, and cultural barriers - particularly women, children, and ethnic minority communities - offering inclusive, community-led 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 Helpline 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 a variety of issues, including immediate crisis, hardship, or mental health challenges, providing key timely early intervention and support. 

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.
