Preventing Homelessness
Promoting Inclusion
Our aim in these pages is to provide comprehensive information on all the services that we provide to homeless and vulnerable people of all ages and on our campaigning and strategic planning activities.
Four Square (Scotland) is a charity involved with the rights and needs of homeless people in Edinburgh and the Central belt of Scotland. We manage key homelessness services, and work with other agencies to promote quality homelessness services and campaign against policies and practice adversely affecting homeless people.
Our new name of Four Square (Scotland) we believe reflects our work both in Edinburgh and in other parts of Scotland. It also represents our 4 areas of strategic focus and service provision:
Accommodation and Support
Practical Assistance
Advice and Advocacy
Education and Training
