information DESCRIPTION

Street Assist Edinburgh provides immediate support, advice and first aid to a wide range of people at the weekend in Edinburgh's town centre. Many people become vulnerable, lost or disorientated as a result of alcohol misuse, but also people who have became separated from their friends, homeless people and victims of assault/domestic abuse. The emergency services are able to refer vulnerable individuals to Street Assist for minor incident treatment.

This new initiative has been founded by and delivered by a dedicated group of award winning volunteers.

WE WILL BE THERE

Our volunteers are out every Friday and Saturday night, 10pm - 4am providing welfare and first-aid in Edinburg'sh city centre.

We support people who become vulnerable during the busy night time economy hours by providing a non-judgemental, 'safe place' for people to come. We ensure that the people we assist have a safe route home and come to no further harm.

We also aim to support our emergency services and to reduce the number of people presenting at Emergency Departments unnecessarily

Our service is 100% volunteer run.
