Christ Church Morningside

Many of our members have specific concerns about homelessness, both in Edinburgh and further afield.  Although there are many roots to homelessness, one of the problems that the newly homeless face is knowing where they can find simple things like food, clothing, and medical advice.  Because we know of no one good source for this information, we maintain a leaflet that can be printed and handed out.  It isn’t specific to Morningside, and could be used anywhere in central Edinburgh.  We hope to add it to the website soon.

As well as maintaining the leaflet, Christ Church holds a yearly collection of goods for Fresh Start, a charity that helps homeless people resettle in the community.   We regularly solicit donations for St Catharine’s, which provides meals for the homeless as well as other kinds of support. We have in the past also addressed homelessness, for instance, by inviting the Bethany Christian Trust to preach and hold a discussion with us.
