When people move on from supported accommodation, they often walk into an empty flat.

No bedding. No cookware. No curtains. That’s why Blue Triangle provides Moving On Packs that make a new tenancy feel like home.

At Blue Triangle, trauma-informed support means recognising the impact of past experiences and responding with kindness, patience and respect. It’s about creating safe spaces, building trust, and helping people rebuild their lives in a way that feels right for them.

Jack had 11 failed tenancies in 8 years.
People saw him as difficult.
We took time to listen.

900+ hours later: he’s housed, in recovery, and volunteering.

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

A photograph of a school bell, with several partial quotes surrounding it as if they're being made by the bell itself. There's text saying "The summer holidays are not a break for the 10,360 children stuck in temporary accommodation"

β˜€οΈ The summer holidays should be a fun and exciting time for a child, but with 10,360 children in Scotland living in unsuitable temporary accommodation, for them it means more time in a space they don't feel safe. 🚫
