Anyone and Everyone

Anyone can be affected by crisis and overwhelming challenges: poverty, trauma, bereavement, abuse, mental health issues, addiction, crisis and vulnerability. All of these factors, directly or indirectly, affect us all. They do not discriminate. Anyone can be affected — everyone can help. 

Why your help is needed

The number of people coming to Aberdeen Cyrenians for support has risen exponentially in recent years and is still increasing.  Many of the people asking for our support are first-time service users: savings and resilience exhausted, challenges growing, and hope ebbing away as they teeter on the edge.  Even settled and secure home lives can be affected by unexpected events or hidden problems: crisis, loss, insecurity, mental health challenges, or abuse. People living in these situations can be anyone. 

The difference you can make

With your support, our services help anyone and everyone overwhelmed by crisis, whether it's at tipping point or deeply rooted challenges.  We provide wellbeing and essentials for living: food, warmth and safety; access to support through advocacy, advice and referral; and we are there for people, so they don't struggle alone, helping them to recover and thrive once again. We help people take back control of their lives, their wellbeing, their finances and their safety.  Much of our support is community funded by people helping people.  Anyone can be affected - everyone can help. So please join us by giving the gift of safety, security and a chance for a brighter future.
