Bethany works with homeless and vulnerable people here in Edinburgh. Their Buy a Bed project aims to provide everyone who needs one with a cosy bed this Christmas.
Every £25 you can give can provide someone with access to 24-hour emergency accommodation, food, warmth and tailored support that will help them move on to a new start through the Rapid Re-accommodation Welcome Centre. You can read more and donate using the button below.
Everyone Edinburgh Initiative
Everyone Edinburgh are on a mission to give away a copy of the Gospel of John to each household in Edinburgh. We have signed up to deliver 4000 copies to homes in Edinburgh and have pledged to give £500 to support their costs. Find out more using the button below.
Saturday Meal - Christmas Gift
Each year we provide our Saturday Meal guests with a Christmas gift and our guests always tell us how greatly appreciated it is.
We hope to provide the following for them: Gloves, Chocolates, Shower Gel and a Greggs Gift Card. Each gift will cost around £20 and we hope to provide gifts for 140 guests.
How to Give
If you’d like to give money to Bethany, please donate directly to them via this page. We have an initial target of £10,000 which is around 400 beds.
To donate to the other projects please use the bank details below, bank transfer is the best way to give as we don’t pay any processing fees. If you’re unable to give via bank transfer please give by card here.
The first £500 of our Advent charity giving to help support costs of the Everyone Edinburgh Initiative, after that first £500 any money given to Ps & Gs will go towards buying Christmas gifts for our Saturday Meals guests with a target of £2800 for all the gifts.
If we hit the targets for all of them, we’ll split any remaining money given between Saturday Meal and Bethany’s Buy a Bed.

Supporting Ps & Gs
In this season of giving, it is a good time to review how God might be prompting us to consider what we give financially to support the ministry of Ps & Gs. We rely on regular financial gifts to fulfil our vision – can you help us? Our monthly expenditure currently exceeds our average monthly giving income – we really need your help to bridge that gap. Find out more about how you can help here. Thank you.
