Del Amitri's Iain Harvey talks about volunteering with the Cyrenians
Iain was a volunteer for the City Community back in the early 80s. The City community is a safe and supportive living space for young people aged 16-30 who are experiencing homelessness. The 10-bed townhouse houses seven residents, who are supported by six live-in volunteers. It was one of Cyrenians first services (Cyrenians started in the 60s) and thinks have evolved a fair bit since then. I’m not entirely sure how the service Iain worked in compare to what we currently do – ways of working will probably be vastly different, but the basic concept of our communities remain the same. The following video gives you some insight into how it works. https://youtu.be/KSyI6kDwpb0
