Bethany’s Welcome Centre is 24/7 emergency accommodation in Edinburgh for people who would otherwise be forced to sleep outside this winter. Last season we supported 787 individuals with food, shelter and provided individualised support to help guests move on into more permanent accommodation.

Situation
Every night, 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 help individuals facing homelessness have access to a warm, safe place with food, shelter and tailored support. This will help to address addiction or mental health issues and find permanent accommodation. Most importantly, you’ll provide hope and a positive future for people who need our support to move off the street.
