Our work
The Welcoming Association is an Edinburgh-based charity dedicated to supporting New Scots (asylum seekers, refugees and migrant workers) to feel at home in their new communities.
We support New Scots to learn English, find jobs and access local services, offering opportunities for friendship, sustainable living, creativity, health and wellbeing. We also build community by connecting locals and New Scots through social and cultural exchange.
The challenges
The Covid-19 pandemic has placed an unprecedented challenge on our work. As an organisation working with New Scots who live in areas of multiple deprivation in Edinburgh, we are still facing pressures on all fronts.
No area of life for New Scots has been left unaffected by the pandemic. They face many barriers in accessing mainstream support services, particularly during the winter times. We are asking for your donation so that we can continue providing our support to New Scots in Edinburgh during the winter period and beyond.
Your support
Any donation you can give, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated. We particularly appreciate regular donations as they help us to plan ahead.
Please pass our appeal on to your family, friends and co-workers, and get in touch if you need more information.
