CHAI Edinburgh

💙 It's Volunteers' Week!

This week, we're celebrating and thanking the incredible volunteers who give their time, skills and energy to support CHAI and the people we work with across Edinburgh.

Our volunteers make a real difference in many ways – supporting clients, assisting with fundraising and administration, helping with marketing and social media, contributing to research and social policy work, providing housing court support, delivering flyers, and much more.

Their commitment helps us reach more people, strengthen our services, and support individuals and families facing challenges with housing, benefits, debt and employability.

To every one of our volunteers: thank you. Your contribution is valued, appreciated and makes a genuine difference to our community every day.

Happy Pride Month from everyone at CHAI 🌈 This month, we celebrate LGBTQ+ communities and reaffirm our commitment to inclusion, equality and dignity for all. Contact us for welfare, debt or housing support if you need advice.

Hi, I’m Emma and I’m the Fundraising & Development Manager at CHAI.

My role involves securing funding, building partnerships and helping to develop projects that support people across Edinburgh with issues such as housing, welfare rights, debt and employability.

A big part of my job is also connecting people and organisations with ways they can support our work, whether that’s through funding, partnerships, or simply making a donation.

I love being able to help turn ideas into practical services that make a real difference to individuals and families facing difficult circumstances. Seeing the impact our advisers have every day is what motivates me most.

If you’re able to support us, donations really do help us continue delivering vital advice services across Edinburgh.

💚 Stress Awareness Month 💚

A gentle reminder to pause and check in with yourself.

Stress can build up quietly — especially when you’re dealing with things like finances, housing or uncertainty about the future. You don’t have to manage it all alone.

✨ Reaching out for support can make things feel more manageable.

If you need advice or support, CHAI is here to help.
