what we do
Homelessness and addiction are some of the most common social problems that we face today. At Steps to Hope SCIO, we are dedicated to fighting this through charity, support groups and awareness programmes. We have designed a daily schedule for our residential recovery programme and created a pathway from addiction to recovery
Within our volunteers are recovered addicts who understand addiction and homelessness but more importantly know how to achieve a new way of life.
From operating free food provisions to the most vulnerable in Edinburgh to operating a residential recovery programme which is peer led and facilitated by those in recovery, we carry out a range of non profit charity work. Please contact us to learn more.
