Edinburgh Helping Hands

Founded by Jim Slaven and Bradley Welsh in 2014 Helping Hands is an all volunteer community based organisation established to work with partners in challenging social and economic inequality in Edinburgh. When people support one another, there’s no limit to what we can do.

We reject the state funded poverty industry. Helping Hands receives no state funding. We rely on support from the communities we work with. Our work is also supported by Scotland’s top professional and ex-professional sportsmen and women and artists.

We represent a new approach to Community.
