Situation
Every night, many people sleep rough on the streets of Edinburgh not knowing where to go or what might come next. By supporting Buy a Bed you’ll give individuals facing homelessness space to recover and assess their situations. You’ll also provide tailored support to address addictions or mental health issues and find permanent accommodation. Most importantly, you’ll provide hope & a positive future for people who are on the streets right now.
