Edinburgh Cyrenian

Cyrenians Communities have made it through to the finals of the SSSC Care Accolades 2012. We are in the final 3 for the Personalisation Award, results to be announced on 22nd June.

Cyrenians Homelessness Prevention Service in Edinburgh has a near 100 per cent success rate in stopping people from losing their home, saving a local authority money in the process. A recently unveiled report and video demonstrate how prevention work saves money and misery.

Every year we invite people to take part in the Edinburgh Marathon festival. This year we have a relay team and a full marathon runner. We would be grateful for any support you can give them.

Every year 6,000 young people become homeless in Scotland because the relationship with their family breaks down. Our recent report shows that thousands of them could be saved from the trauma of homelessness if services to mediate between them and their families were better funded, more joined up and available consistently in the right time and place.
