What is the Welcome Centre?

The Rapid Re-accommodation Welcome Centre provides people who would otherwise be sleeping rough with 24-hour accommodation, hot food and access to 24/7 wrap around support. Guests also receive individualised support to help them move on to more suitable long-term accommodation.

Bethany project workers are there for individuals looking to find more permanent accommodation, and assist people with addictions or mental health issues. A wide range of referral routes to support is also provided.

The Welcome Centre is based at the Haymarket Hub Hotel, 7 Clifton Terrace, Edinburgh EH12 5DR and will be open between 4th October 2023 and 1st May 2024.
