Milan is a charity set up to support South Asian older people (50+) in Edinburgh and the Lothians to improve their wellbeing, independence and quality of life. We do this by providing culturally-appropriate social, recreational and educational activities, reducing isolation, and promoting inclusion. We offer day care provision for 65+, unregistered services, unpaid carers support, wellbeing programmes, information/advice, and support for people with additional needs. We support those most excluded and face inequalities to ensure older people and unpaid carers have equal access to services and opportunities that help them stay connected, confident and healthy.

Objectives: The purposes for which the Company is established are to promote the benefit of the elderly (aged 50 or over) members of the Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Mauritian communities in Edinburgh and the Lothian area by associating the local and statutory authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and other leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life of the aforementioned persons.
