Join Fresh Start’s Board of Trustees

Fresh Start is an Edinburgh-based charity supporting people moving on from homelessness to settle into a new home with dignity. We provide practical, household essentials through services like our Starter Packs, alongside wider support that helps people build stability and connection in their community.

With rising demand and a strong reputation built over years of delivery and partnership, Fresh Start has grown significantly in reach and impact. We’re now entering an ambitious five-year growth phase and are recruiting new Trustees to bring skills, insight and leadership to help strengthen governance and support sustainable, values-led expansion.
