The gift helping people sleeping rough this winter.
By purchasing or receiving a Buy a Bed gift card, you help provide access to Bethany’s Rapid Re-accommodation Welcome Centre in Edinburgh, for those who would otherwise be sleeping on the streets this winter.
“What you are doing here is amazing.
I don’t know what I would do without you.”
Guest at the Welcome Centre’s 2024-25 season
From Tuesday 2nd December at 12pm this link will send you to the Big Give campaign page, where all Buy a Bed donations will be doubled for one week only thanks to generous match funding.
Bethany charity shops in Edinburgh and East Lothian also stock Buy a Bed gift cards.

What is the Welcome Centre?
The Rapid Re-accommodation Welcome Centre provides people who would otherwise be sleeping rough with 24-hour accommodation, hot food and access to 24/7 wrap around support. Guests also receive individualised support to help them move on to more suitable long-term accommodation.
Bethany project workers are there for individuals looking to find more permanent accommodation and assist people with addictions or mental health issues. A wide range of referral routes to support is also provided.
The Welcome Centre is based at ELS House, 555 Gorgie Road, Edinburgh EH11 3LE.
