Support and Access Hubs

Support and Access Hubs

Our sector-leading Hubs are places where anyone experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness can drop in for information, advice, care and support.

Easy to access support

Our Hubs are first and foremost places of welcome every day. We create psychologically informed environments so that people can feel good and feel valued in our spaces. 

Our Edinburgh Support Hub and Glasgow Access Hub act as 'a one-stop shops' for a whole range of support. Working with different partners we can help with benefits, health, finances, legal advice, access to the digital world and more. See opening times below.

We also have a new Connect Hub in Glasgow that has been co-created by women, especially for women.

"people who will help you with everything"

Jimmy still visits our Access Hub for support with different day-to-day needs:

"There’s people who will help you with everything you need help with. There are different spaces to go to in The Hub for a chat. The support has been phenomenal. The staff have been so supportive. I come in all the time. I praise this place. Honestly, see if this wasn’t here, I don’t know where I’d be. I’d probably be dead, that’s the truth."

A safe, warm place to get support

“Our Hub is a safe and warm place for people to come for all kinds of practical and emotional support. We always listen to what people need and want. In addition to our drop-in support, we have a weekly programme where people can have access to healthcare professionals, dental checks, vets, barbers, harm reduction advice and lots more. I’m also delighted that we have a partnership with the City of Glasgow College and that has been so beneficial and brilliant to see people we support access education and achieve qualifications.”
