Everyone deserves a safe place to live and access to the support they need

Supporting people to a better future.

People matter.

"I guess I liked the fact that they cared and listened. I went back to the hub the next day and talked a lot more. It felt like they wanted to help … and they did."

– Mark

People are amazing. Every day at Simon Community Scotland we support people impacted by homelessness or at risk of losing their home.

Everyone deserves to access what they need, when they need it – even if the right solutions are hard to find. It always starts with relationships – with warmth, compassion and listening. Person-to-person. Every day.

Together we make a difference

The housing emergency is a PEOPLE emergency

Over 30,000 people are currently homeless in Scotland, and countless more are at risk. The demand for our services is higher than ever.

Please help us provide safe places, support and hope to people who need it most.
