For the past two years, our Connect Hub has delivered a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for women experiencing homelessness, centred on community, care, and connection.

Year 2 saw us move from opening 3-days/ week to 4-days and we have just started to open 5-days/ week. We are delighted that Debbie Shields, Chair of our Connect Hub Ambassadors Group has written a blog to introduce our Year 2 Impact Report. Read on to find out more about a very special safe place.

Chris explains what our ‘Housing First’ programme is and he discusses how many people they have supported into homes last year. 👏🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Our Principles at Housing First:
* People have a right to a home
* Flexible support is provided for as long as it is needed
* Housing and support are separated
* Individuals have choice and control
* An active engagement approach is used
* The service is based on people’s strengths, goals, and aspirations
* A harm reduction approach is used

We're so proud of our amazing volunteers.

In Edinburgh, volunteers help us across all of our services. Whether out in all kinds of weather with the Street Team, contributing to creative workshops at the Streetreads library, or helping people get much-needed digital support (and so much more!), our volunteers are vital to everything we do here at Streetwork.

We've also had the great honour of receiving three Edinburgh Inspiring Volunteers 2026 Awards in the teams categories for our Street Team, Hub team and Streetreads Library teams.

We rounded off the week with a volunteer social in Glasgow, and it was just so great to get everyone together for a proper catch-up. Because everyone is spread out across so many different services, they don't always get to cross paths, so it was brilliant to see volunteers from different services finally get to meet and talk about their roles.

Time is invaluable and our volunteers give it generously! We say it all the time, but it’s the absolute truth, we couldn’t do what we do without them.

Thank you to everyone who came along, and to our entire volunteer team for everything you do day in, day out. 💜

Thanks
