Testimonial

Aberdeen Cyrenians

“Aberdeen Cyrenians has had a long standing relationship with Mother Technologies over the past 15 years and now rely exclusively on them for all out IT, telecoms and connectivity. We have recently migrated to Mother’s datacentre in the cloud which went extremely smoothly.

They provide reliable advice in terms that we can understand, come up with cost-effective solutions and the support team regularly go beyond the call of duty to assist us in all IT support matters.”

About

Aberdeen Cyrenians was established in 1968. Over the last 45 years the range of services offered by Aberdeen Cyrenians has grown considerably. Originally just providing food and shelter, the services now aim to meet all the varying needs of people affected by homelessness in Aberdeen and the surrounding area.

These services focus on:

  • Prevention of homelessness – through information, advice, support and education programmes
  • Alleviation of homelessness – in 29 places short-term accommodation
  • Rehabilitation – tackling underlying issues such as alcohol, drugs, mental health and abuse
  • Resettlement – practical help to gain employment, to learn the skills needed to live in the community and to sustain a tenancy

Our staff works very hard to support clients to meet their basic needs and realise their potential. People can rely on staff for support, advice, practical assistance or even just a listening ear – no one will be turned away.

Aberdeen Cyrenians currently has 6 key Projects/Services; Wernham House Project, Margaret House Project, Information, Advice & Support Service, Violence Against Women Project, Domestic Abuse Support & Accommodation Project and Street Alternatives Service. We cater for specific groups of homeless people including young single people in crisis, rough sleepers, older people and women of all ages, who can benefit specifically from our Wernham House, Margaret House and Street Alternatives Projects.

We believe that if you give a bed to someone in need of a home, a meal to someone hungry, or shelter and warmth to someone cold then their problems will be only resolved in the short-term, but if we give someone who has not had a fair chance in life time to express their problems and give them understanding, caring advice, new opportunities and life and work skills, then they will have a real chance to lay foundations which will enable them to contribute positively to society in the long term.
