Residential Communities

Edinburgh Cyrenians run two therapeutic communities where young adults live and work together - the City and the Farm.

In these communities, young people feel at home, and are able to establish a sense of belonging. This stability encourages them to overcome past difficulties and move forward with fresh  confidence, increased self esteem, and a healthier view of themselves and
their future.

Young people overcoming homelessness live alongside volunteers of a similar age, who act as peer-mentors and role models. Find out how to become a residential volunteer.
