2012
The Firrhill Centre offers a wide range of services and supports for people with disabilities. We have a range of distinct functions/projects - each aimed at a specific client group and/or with a specific function.
Some of these are well established while others are in the very early stages of development. Many are interconnected with some staff and clients involved in more than one project.
Among the menu of options available are -
For people with a Physical Disability
- Stroke Service (Edinburgh community stroke service)
Offering short term rehabilitation to people who have recently had a stroke. This project has been expanded to 2 days and now has a wider remit.
