Services
We provide a range of services across Scotland, which reduce the chances of people becoming homeless. Our staff are working tirelessly ensuring all our services continue despite CoVid 19 restrictions.
CoVid 19 Volunteering
The current situation is bringing many vulnerable adults to the attention of services for the first time. If we don’t act now they will slip through the net. Help us respond.
Training
Working in homelessness prevention and supporting people to realise their full potential, Rowan Alba offers a variety of coaching qualifications and training, including the unique opportunity to be trained remotely for volunteering during CoVid19 restrictions.
“Volunteers can be life-changing and life-saving.”
