Our Impact

Cyrenians has been tackling the causes and consequences of homelessness for over 50 years. We do this through building trusted relationships.   

Homelessness is a complex challenge which is always about much more than a lack of housing. It can’t and won’t be solved simply by building more social housing.

Complex problems require careful thinking and consideration of whole community, whole family and whole person solutions. Everything we do at Cyrenians is values-led and centres on building trusted relationships so that people can go on to thrive.

Building Trusted Relationships

We take a public health approach to delivering 63 services, which focus on prevention, early intervention and support in to a home. We operate in seven local authorities across South East and Central Scotland as well as delivering five national services.

We support people to navigate change and manage conflict, to develop resilience and to understand systems that aren’t always inclusive or accessible. We go on to the streets and into homes, to prisons, schools, hospitals and workplaces. We open the doors to our communal houses, our kitchens and the gates to our community gardens. We are frontline, face-to-face, hand in hand, day after day.
