Shelter Scotland invites you to join our very first Sleep Walk in Edinburgh, an informal, moderate walk through the city to raise awareness of homelessness, bad housing and the housing emergency in Edinburgh and across Scotland.

The walk takes place on 11th December, starting from Shelter Scotland's Edinburgh Hub (meet at 5.30pm, start walking at 6pm). Please sign up, and find more details on our Eventbrite page: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/77281698641

Who are we?

Shelter Scotland provides advice and support to anyone suffering from homelessness or bad housing. A home is a vital need, and we want to live in a society where everyone has access to a home that is safe, affordable and secure.

What is Time for Change?

Time for Change Edinburgh is an involvement, consultation
and peer-led model that collects peoples’ feedback on their experiences of homelessness and bad housing in their local area, and uses this collective voice to co-design and deliver peer services and solutions to support what is found. 

Through 120 Time for Change Edinburgh questionnaires completed so far, we have found that the biggest homeless and housing issues for people in Edinburgh and the Lothians are around their personal safety, the temporary accommodation situation, the impact on their mental health, and the lack of
housing available.
