It’s a pretty stark figure. Homeless cases in Scotland are at a record high, with over 30,000 people submitting homelessness applications according to the latest data gathered by the Scottish Government.

That’s why Building Relations has chosen to partner with Scottish homeless charity Cyrenians.

Its aim is to tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness by focusing on prevention and early intervention, as well as lobbying for change in legislation and policy.

As a PR agency with a focus on property and the built environment, we feel Cyrenians is a great match for our Scotland office.

The Edinburgh team are incredibly excited to be helping support the valuable work carried out by Cyrenians, volunteering hours and running workshops to share skills with the team.

Over the course of 2024/2025, we will be raising money through various activities for Cyrenians, starting with our fundraising 13-mile Water of Leith Walk. Any donations are very welcome!
