Fresh Start is an Edinburgh-based charity helping people who have been homeless get established in their new homes.
Working in partnership with volunteers and organisations from a broad section of the community, we deliver a range of services that provide the practical and social support that helps people resettle successfully.
Each year Fresh Start helps thousands of new tenants settle into their homes. This can only be achieved by the hard work of our volunteers and the generosity of the donations we receive.
