Help Cyrenians tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness by supporting #TeamCyrenians at this year's Edinburgh Marathon Festival!

With the number of people facing homelessness at a record high, every mile matters.

Cyrenians tackles the causes and consequences of homelessness through learning from lived experience; by delivering targeted services which focus on prevention, early intervention and support into a home; and by influencing changes in legislation and policy. Our way of working is based on building trusted relationships and guided by our four core values: compassion, respect, integrity and innovation.

We understand that there are many routes into homelessness and that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to supporting people towards more positive and stable futures. That’s why all our work is values-led and relationship-based. We meet people where they are and support them towards where they want to be.

The projects and services run by Cyrenians include supported accommodation; assertive outreach; recovery support; family mediation; food education and redistribution; and employability support. Last year we directly supported over 10,800 people in their time of need.
