About Cyrenians

For over 50 years, Cyrenians has tackled the causes and consequences of homelessness. We understand that homelessness is complex, and there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution. Our work is values-led and relationships-based, meeting people where they are and supporting them toward where they want to be. We believe in a Public Health Approach to Homelessness Prevention 

We currently support over 7,000 people annually through 49 projects across 7 local authorities and 4 national services.
