My story

Rough sleeping is a matter of life and death. The average life expectancy of someone sleeping on the streets is just 42.

To help rough sleepers in Edinburgh, Bethany operates a nightly homeless shelter over the winter. The "Care Shelter" provides rough sleepers with a hot meal, a bed for the night, breakfast, a listening ear and advice on housing and addiction support.

Last year, more than 757 people received help at the Edinburgh Care Shelter. The Care Shelter costs around £110,000 to run each year, with practical support provided by local churches.

Please give generously to help rough sleepers this winter.

Thank you so much for making a difference in people's lives.
