Anyone can be affected by crisis and overwhelming challenges: poverty, abuse, trauma, mental health issues, addiction, crisis and vulnerability. All of these factors, directly or indirectly, affect us all. They do not discriminate. Anyone can be affected — everyone can help.

Situation
The number of people coming to Aberdeen Cyrenians for support has risen exponentially in recent years and is still increasing. Many of them are first-time service users: savings exhausted, challenges growing and hope ebbing away as they teeter on the edge. Even settled and secure home lives can be affected by unexpected events, crisis, insecurity, mental health challenges or hidden abuse and violence. People living in these situations can be anyone.
Solution
Our services support anyone and everyone overwhelmed by crisis, whether it's at tipping point or deeply rooted challenges. We provide essentials for living: food, warmth and safety; access to support through advocacy, advice and referral; and we are there for people, so they don't struggle alone, helping them to recover and thrive once again. Much of our support is community funded by people helping people. Anyone can be affected - everyone can help.
