Our Street Assist Edinburgh volunteers were so proud to take part in the Edinburgh 900 People’s Procession. Walking alongside so many incredible groups that make this city what it is was a truly special experience.

We had an amazing time celebrating Edinburgh’s history, community, and spirit – and of course, doing it all together as a team!

Congratulations to our volunteers Sonny, Markus, Ben, Zach and Madison who took on the Kiltwalk earlier this month and have raised over £1200 in sponsorship!

As a charity fundraising and donations are fundamental to being able to continue our work - if you’d like to support us, visit our fundraising and donations pages on our website to find out all the ways you can support us!

In partnership with Edinburgh Council, Scottish Ambulance Service, Police Scotland & Essential Edinburgh we delivered the Welfare Hub Service over the 3 nights of the recent Oasis concerts. We welcomed along Michael Dickson, CEO of the Scottish Ambulance Service who visited to learn more about this unique pilot project.
