Reset
Reset is an intersectoral partnership between Cyrenians, Queen Margaret University and Edinburgh Health and Social Care partnership. The aim of the project is to learn how to shape and plan for more efficient and effective community services for older people through collaboration with key partners, continued participatory action research (PAR) and evaluation. Referrals come from the Royal Infirmary Edinburgh, Western General hospital, and the locality hubs across Edinburgh.
The Reset team works alongside people in their own home or in hospital, providing support to increase their resilience, and enable them to experience more good days.
We deliver person-centred, relationship-based support, focussing on individual needs and achieving personal goals which improve quality of life. With many Reset clients facing multiple adversities and being close-to-crisis, the Reset team offers support to overcome multiple barriers that negatively impact resilience and the capability to remain safe, independent and well at home.
We also work with colleagues in client/patient facing roles to help them access vital support for the people they work with.
The service is funded by the Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership.
Reset is not an emergency response service. If you'd like to get in touch you can email us at reset@cyrenians.scot

Published in 2024 our Partcipatory Action Research Report summarises learning from our Reset - Edinburgh Community Resilience Programme.
It provides evidence-based information about actions to consider when planning and delivering resilience-affirming, community-based support for older adults. The ultimate aim is to enable them to have more good days.
Our findings are informed by the views of older people and the programme and community partners we collaborated with, who have experience and expertise of working with and supporting older people.
