Who is up for a @thekiltwalk challenge to help us provide safe places, support and hope to people experiencing homelessness?
Simon Community Scotland retweeted
Thank you so much for all your support as we search for a new home.
We have identified a bit of a dream property but it is £25,000 per annum more in rent.
We will keep you posted and greatly appreciate all your kind words and donations.

Our library was totally unique, well used and greatly appreciated.

We are looking for a new home for our @streetreads library in Edinburgh.
This comes at a time when there is a critical lack of accommodation and safe places where people can access support in the city.
Can you help? Email [email protected] or

Sadly little recognition of the impact the service has had in an area where street activity has always been a challenge, we have been told of a 300% reduction in anti social impacts since our programme began

Streetreads is a brilliant resource that I've supported for a long time - dear bookish chums, if you can give them a few quid, please do, otherwise a RT to raise awareness costs nothing. (And give them a follow @streetreads too!)
