About us
Crisis is the national charity for homeless people. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it.
This is an exciting time to join our team in Edinburgh as we restructure our services to meet the changing needs of people who are homeless in Edinburgh and East Lothian. In the last year we worked with over 720 individuals and provided education, training and support to over 400 of them.
We have just recently implemented a more structured case management approach and are using our bespoke Case Management System, MAPS.
In December 2019 we will again take over Southside Community Centre in Edinburgh to offer our 7th Crisis at Christmas event which will be open between 25 December and 1 January.
