Our Work

Clothesbank+

A Clothesbank where those who have been referred can come and choose clothes, in partnership with Central Church, Tollcross.

Soul Food

We partner with Soul Food Edinburgh to set a table for our neighbours in Newington, inviting them to join us for a hot meal at City of Edinburgh Methodist Church.

The Care Van

Since 1990 we have had a partnership with Bethany Christian Trust to run the Care Van: a mobile unit for food and drink for the homeless in Edinburgh.

We are responsible for the evening Care Van rota which is run by volunteers from 40 churches from all across Edinburgh and the Lothians.

Salaam

Salaam (Arabic for ‘Peace’ and also ‘Hello!’) is our project supporting refugees and asylum seekers from Syria and other parts of the world and to support the churches who are involved in welcoming them.

Salaam and its various projects have grown rapidly. We operate: The Salaam Weekend Club, Befriending, English Conversation Classes, Peaced Together and more!

Nations Nations is a ministry created to stimulate and strengthen the mission of ethnic minority and foreign language fellowships in Edinburgh.

We want to listen to and learn from these churches and fellowship groups, and promote integration between them and the wider church community in the city, championing the diversity of the church while seeking to build unity in the Kingdom.

An Open Hand

An Open Hand is a new ministry which aims to provide parents in severe hardship with a present for their child's birthday, along with books and items for the family to play with together, such as simple games and stationery. It is a partnership between Greenbank Church and Edinburgh City Mission.

Two's Company Befriending

Two’s Company is a befriending scheme that we are pioneering in Edinburgh, in partnership with Linking Lives UK.

We want to empower local churches to bring comfort and community to older people experiencing isolation and loneliness.
