Community Support and Development East

Working to support local people and revitalise communities where the potential for homelessness is a real concern.

With regional teams based in the East of Scotland, projects are tailored to local needs and work in partnership with churches to empower people to strengthen their communities.

Everyone has potential and our Community Support & Development Workers run a range of activities in Edinburgh, Dundee, Leith, Moredun, the Calders and Gorebridge to help people learn new skills and access further support and signposting. These activities include computer groups, lunch drop-ins and family support.

The team also facilitate the Passing the Baton befriending service across Edinburgh and the Bridge to Freedom recovery course at a number of locations.

Who can join?

These projects take place in local communities in the East of Scotland, for more details please refer to the list below.
