Concerned about someone on the street?

If you see someone on the street who needs help call Simon Community Scotland’s street team on 0800 027 7466 (open 24 hours a day, seven days a week).

Our experienced Project Workers are here to chat through the help available to you. This includes detoxing, harm reduction, accessing community and residential rehabs as well as support after rehab. They will take time to explore your own relationship with addiction, what does and doesn’t work for you and create a personalised plan from there. Many of our team have conquered addictions in their own lives. They draw on this experience to offer you the most compassionate support possible.

Please get in touch to start the conversation.
