<div>We’re just £20,000 away from buying our first home for refugee families in Edinburgh. And right now, every £1 you give can become £2. So we only need to crowdfund £10k to reach our goal!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We’re so, so close.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Edinburgh Community Sponsorship Homes was created from a simple belief: everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home — and everyone deserves to feel they belong.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Edinburgh is in a housing emergency. There were 26,817 applications on the city’s common housing register, and around 6,270 homeless households are currently living in temporary accommodation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We wanted to do our part.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And we wanted to build on something we know works: community-based welcome. Our sibling charity, <a href="https://www.refugeesponsorshipcircle.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Edinburgh Refugee Sponsorship Circle</a>, has shown the incredible difference that can happen when refugees are welcomed not just into accommodation, but into a community — with neighbours, friendships, stability and a genuine sense of belonging.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Now, we have the chance to take that work one huge step further.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising the final £10,000 needed to purchase our first flat.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A flat that will become a safe, affordable and secure home where refugees can put down roots, rebuild their lives, recover from trauma and begin to feel at home in Edinburgh.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>And there’s an amazing opportunity to help us get there:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If we raise £10,000, a private philanthropist will match it with another £10,000 via Foundation Scotland!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That means your donation can go twice as far.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>£10 becomes £20.
</div>
<div>£50 becomes £100.
</div>
<div>£500 becomes £1,000.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And together, £10,000 becomes £20,000 — enough to get us across the line and make our first home a reality.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve come this far because people believe that housing can be about more than four walls. It can be the foundation from which someone starts again. A place to rest. A place to belong. A place to build a future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re so close now. Please help us take the final step.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donate today, share our fundraiser with your friends and family, and help us turn £10,000 into £20,000 — and a flat into a home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Let’s make room for welcome in Edinburgh. ❤️</strong>
</div>
