02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Wheatley Care provides inclusive and holistic support to people with complex conditions, including physical disabilities, learning disabilities, mental health conditions, addictions, and homelessness. In 2025/26, we supported 6,374 people across our services, spanning 10 local authority areas, helping them get the most out of their lives and achieve their own positive outcomes. Around 45% of our customers received support from our transitional services, specialising in supporting people who have experienced homelessness or are at risk of becoming homeless. Around a third of our customers are aged 55 and above and live in one of our 33 Livingwell complexes, which help older tenants live independently in their own homes for longer, with assistance from housing and care staff. A total of 11% of our customers received support from staff in our day services, which provide preventative support to people diagnosed with a mental health condition across Edinburgh and Fife.
