RECENT TWEETS

New shelter

December 07 2009
Bethany Christian Trust‘s Care Shelter scheme running again Bethany Christian Trust is once again running its Care Shelter scheme during the winter months. From 2nd November to 4th April, the charity will be running an emergency shelter for Edinburgh's homeless. Using over 70 different city churches, guests will be able to avoid the dangers of rough sleeping during the colder months. A service bus picks up those wishing to stay from Waverley Bridge at 9.15pm and 9.30pm. The churches will be serving an evening meal and breakfast the following morning. The shelter is available for everyone, although they do operate a zero tolerance policy on drug use and alcohol consumption while using the shelter. The programme ran successfully last year and gave many people a safe, sheltered place to sleep and organisers once again hope that the service will be on the frontline of homeless care in Edinburgh.
