EACHA

EACHA is a community-led charity based in Kilmarnock, supporting people across East Ayrshire who are experiencing homelessness, poverty, addiction, or social isolation. Our mission is to provide hope, connection, and practical support through inclusive, person-centred services rooted in compassion and respect.

At our One Stop Shop on John Dickie Street, we offer a warm and welcoming space where anyone can drop in for a chat, a meal, or help with essential needs. We provide free community meals, crisis support, access to food and clothing, recovery and wellbeing groups, and opportunities to volunteer or take part in community activities.

EACHA believes in meeting people where they are, offering non-judgemental support that recognises everyone’s potential for change and growth. Our peer-led approach means that many of our staff and volunteers have lived experience of the challenges we help others face, creating a unique atmosphere of understanding and trust.
