Fresh Start provide a range of services that support people who have been homeless and have recently been re-housed.

The majority of our services are delivered by volunteers and only exist due to the contribution of volunteers, the churches and the wider community.

The Starter Packs and Hit Squad services are components of the Gateway consortium that is contracted to the City of Edinburgh Council to deliver different aspects of Edinburgh's Homelessness Strategy.

There is a strong recycling and re-use aspect to our work and we run social enterprises that create employment and training opportunities for people who have experienced homelessness.
