DONATE NOW

Thank you for being here! Donations are incredibly vital to be able to help support our work.

We have and continue to support people experiencing homelessness in the following areas:

Accommodation:
Alongside pioneering Scotland’s Largest Housing First Pathfinder, we also built a Social Bite Village in Edinburgh which supports up to 20 people into suitable temporary accommodation with full wrap-around support – helping individuals into permanent homes, gain access to employment, and key support from our partners at Cyrenians.

Building on this success, we recently launched our plans to continue the Village model in two new cities in the UK – Greater Glasgow (South Lanarkshire) and Dundee. We continue to need support to bring these to reality, please consider donating today,  or if you’re interested in making a larger donation – perhaps supporting the build of a nest house – then please get in touch here.

Food:
We support people experiencing homelessness and food poverty by providing free food from our Coffee Shops. On average, we provide  180,000 items of free food and drink every year.

Employment:
We believe in the power of a supportive job to transform lives. Our ongoing aim is to employ 1 in 4 individuals with a background of homelessness or barriers to employment. Through our Jobs First programme we have supported more than 48 people to gain meaningful employment partnering with a network of Jobs First partners, currently over 10 UK-wide companies, for people who have previously been excluded from the employment market.

Relationships:
We believe building meaningful relationships is the key to success. Our Social Suppers create a suitable environment for building relationships as well as ensuring appropriate and trustworthy referrals to onward support are met. That’s why we continue to provide non-judgemental free food service to welcome everyone to a Social Bite Suppers event – recognizing the importance food has beyond the immediate need. Our Social Impact Team creates 1-1 relationships with individuals and provides the bedrock of support that is needed to guide and navigate people through challenging circumstances; from helping to bid on homes, to sourcing furniture, to holding down appointments and form filling.

Any support you can provide today will make a tangible difference.
