St James Quarter

St James Quarter Edinburgh is proud to support two incredible charity partners, Health in Mind and Edinburgh Women's Aid.

Any money raised through this page will be split equally between the two charities, helping them to continue the fantastic and incredibly valuable work they do in Edinburgh and beyond.

As a team, we are just about to take on our next CSR Challenge - The Kiltwalk! 17 team members will be taking on The Mighty Stride, proudly walking over 20 miles to raise money for our charities.

Any donations you are able to make would be hugely appreciated - thank you.

Edinburgh Women’s Aid
Edinburgh Women's Aid provides support and refuge to women and children affected by domestic abuse, helping over 2,000 women and 150 children each year. Through the partnership, St James Quarter aims to raise awareness of issues relating to domestic violence and the incredibly valuable services the charity offers, including, employability support, legal aid, safe refuge and support groups to promote positive wellbeing and recovery.

These stats show just how important the work of Edinburgh Women's Aid is:

• In 2023, 987 women reached out to EWA’s crisis team when they were at their most vulnerable, feeling fearful and unsafe, needing help to move towards life free of domestic abuse.

• From Jan - Mar 2024, EWA has experienced 38% year-on-year increased demand in our crisis support service.

Health in Mind
Health in Mind is a leading Scottish mental health charity based in Edinburgh, with a vision that everyone in Scotland should have positive mental health and wellbeing, and can access high-quality support if, when and how they need it. Recognising the far-reaching impact of mental health, St James Quarter hopes that this partnership will shine a light on the many resources and support services that Health in Mind offer, and the real difference they can make.
