If after having viewed our website, you feel that you have a client who may enjoy and benefit from attending activities at Columcille, we recommend that you e-mail Columcille initially or telephone to speak with the manager (direct line 0131 446 6875) to explore possibilities.
An exploratory visit can then be arranged which is often very helpful in deciding if Columcille will be able to meet the person’s individual needs and wishes. If this meeting is mutually positive and space is available, the placement would be confirmed and a trial period agreed. Participants may attend for anything from half a day per week to five days per week.
Service users at Columcille are normally funded via Health and Social Care, at the City of Edinburgh Council. A social worker will normally manage the application process. If an individual does not have a social worker they can request one by contacting Social Care Direct, telephone number, 0131 200 2324.
