Education Service
Helping people build confidence, wellbeing and opportunities through accessible learning.
Supporting people beyond homelessness since 2009
The Marie Trust is a Glasgow charity supporting people affected by homelessness, poverty and social exclusion.
We recognise that homelessness is rarely caused by one issue alone, and that people may face overlapping challenges relating to trauma, mental health, addiction, poverty, housing and isolation.
Our aim is to provide a supportive, non-judgemental environment where people can stabilise, rebuild confidence and move towards recovery, greater independence and new opportunities.
Our approach
Trauma-informed
Support that recognises how past experiences can affect wellbeing, trust and recovery.
Non-judgemental
A respectful and welcoming environment where people can feel heard and supported.
Holistic
Recognising that homelessness, health, trauma, addiction, poverty and isolation are often interconnected.
Recovery and lasting change
Helping people build confidence, stability, connection and opportunities beyond immediate crisis.
What we do

Free, confidential and trauma-informed therapeutic support for people experiencing or recovering from homelessness.
