Care Van 

This service, operated on each day of the year by Bethany Christian Trust and Edinburgh City Mission, reaches out to the homeless in our city through provision of refreshments and clothes from the 'Care Van'. St Thomas' Church provides one of the many teams across the city that staff the van alongside Bethany and ECM staff and volunteers.

Please speak to Gavin Hamilton or the church office if you're interested in helping or donating items.

Bethany Christian Trust has a very useful resource, 'Get Help', available on its website. Whilst developed to assist with their ministry to the homeless, many of the resources are more generally applicable to a range of people and needs. A downloadable PDF summary of key Help resources in Edinburgh is also available from the website. (Cited with the permission of Bethany Christian Trust.)
