“Coming to Streetwork and meeting caring and compassionate staff saved me a lot of hardships. The Holyrood Hub is a fantastic place where I was given one-to-one support at a difficult time. It has been immensely helpful.” 

Streetwork is Edinburgh’s local homeless charity. We support people who are sleeping rough or at risk of homelessness. Every day we help make positive things happen for people facing extremely difficult circumstances. We provide expert, compassionate and flexible support and link people into the services they need so they can journey out of homelessness. 

Our Street Outreach Team works 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Over the last 12 months we supported 1,948 people and this winter we want to reach out to more people. 

Our Holyrood Hub is a welcoming place where people can access practical and emotional support, specialist drop-ins and essential amenities – including hot showers, a place to wash clothes and store belongings. People who use our Hub are going through a really difficult time.  

Funds raised will help us support more people like John to resolve their situation and recover from homelessness. We are here to make a real difference and enable a life off the streets, showing dignity and respect to everyone we meet. 

Help Streetwork support more people like John this winter. You can donate or fundraise for us.
