02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Tor Christian Foundation is a grant making organisation which is seeking to support churches and other Christian organisations across Edinburgh and the Lothians that share our vision for the pastoral care of older people including those who have faith and those who have none. It is a legacy of the TOR Christian Nursing Home which was in Murrayfield. The nursing home became financially unsustainable, so after an orderly closure of the care activities, we realised the assets of the charity and are now seeking use those assets to support activities aligned with the role of the nursing home.
