Ending homelessness isn’t as simple as handing over a set of keys.

A new home is just the start. For many, it takes support to rebuild their lives—managing bills, cooking, gaining confidence.

That’s what we do at Blue Triangle. Everyone is different. Support should be too. 💙 #BlueTriangle50

Homelessness isn’t black & white.

People become homeless for many reasons—escaping violence, eviction, or leaving care or prison. It’s complex, & every story is unique. At Blue Triangle we provide safety, support, & a fresh start. Let’s challenge misconceptions and break the stigma. #BlueTriangle50

We loved this poem by Raymond, a Support Worker in our Sauchiehall Street service 💙
He wrote and performed it at our 50th event — a powerful tribute to the care, creativity and commitment of our staff across Scotland. Here’s to the next 50. #BlueTriangle50 #HomelessnessScotland

New figures published today by the Scottish Government shows a 4% rise in homelessness since Sept 2024. But behind every statistic are real people in urgent need of support.
