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 618 individuals with food, safety, accommodation, and individualised support to help guests move on into more permanent housing.

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 people facing homelessness have access to a warm, safe place with food, individual rooms and tailored support. This will help to address substance misuse or mental health issues and find permanent accommodation for individuals. Most importantly, you’ll provide hope and the opportunity of a positive future for people who need our support.

Bethany’s Welcome Centre will provide access to; • A warm & safe place to sleep • Safety from the elements & the threat of violence • A private room with en-suite facilities • 24/7 care & support from professional staff • Three meals a day inc. a freshly prepared, hot two-course meal in the evening • A range of professional onsite support services, inc. health care, addiction recovery & mental health support • Tailored support to help individuals to move rapidly out of the crisis of homelessness
