We work with people in Edinburgh to help them rebuild their lives and leave homelessness behind for good. We do much of this work through our Skylights – these are centres which exist to support people who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness. Skylights can help in finding a home and settling in, finding work and applying for jobs and looking after your health and wellbeing.
How we can help depends on your situation and needs. If another service can provide the support you need, we will refer you to them.
Before you visit, we would recommend that you find out what Crisis can offer you in Edinburgh. You can then contact us by phone or email so that we can discuss the best options for your situation
