Welcome to The Cyrenians

The Cyrenians believe that homelessness is one of the most destructive and degrading experiences any human being can ever undergo.

Each year in Aberdeen over 3,000 people do not have a key to their own front door.

The Cyrenians' aim is to meet the needs of people who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or affected by homelessness in any way.  We listen to their difficulties, understand their needs, share their burden, provide support and ultimately find permanent solutions for their problems.

Each has lost stability, independence, identity, privacy, the opportunity to make even the simplest of choices and all basic material comfort.  Life becomes a survival situation.  Is it any wonder that someone has not got a clear idea of their long term future when they don't even know when they will be able to eat again?
