Cyrenians
Edinburgh, UK
Cyrenians is an Edinburgh-based homelessness charity which was established in 1968 in order to find and implement innovative solutions to ending homelessness locally. We focus on prevention and reaching those at the edge of homelessness, as well as those in crisis and in recovery. Beyond providing direct support to those experiencing street homelessness, we work to prevent homelessness in the first place by alleviating poverty, tackling food insecurity and providing support to families and young people. The projects and services run by Cyrenians include: supported accommodation; outreach support; family mediation; food redistribution; and employability support. Last year our services supported over 10,800 people and more than 24,000 people visited our services and participated in training and events.
