Stramullion provides a safe and supportive home for ten women, as they rebuild their lives after experiencing homelessness and the impacts of this on their health. Two residents share an apartment, with shared kitchen and lounge. The service has an outdoor space which can offer a sense of community. The name Stramullion – Scots for ‘strong woman’ – reflects our commitment to helping residents regain stability and confidence. Our team fosters this strength by creating a safe, welcoming space and offering opportunities for creative expression through cooking and activities, experiences our residents may never have had the opportunity to enjoy before.

About the Worker Support Centre

The Worker Support Centre (WSC) is a Scottish charity working in partnership with migrant workers at risk of exploitation across Scotland to secure their rights, challenge labour exploitation, build collective power, and drive lasting law and policy change. We are an evidence-led, worker-driven organisation with strong governance and a growing track record of policy impact. We're building a movement of people who welcome all workers, working towards a world where we are all safe, valued and respected at work — no matter our job or nationality.

WSC operates a worker-driven structure that places migrant workers at the centre of our governance and decision-making. We deliver casework alongside worker-led organising and policy advocacy, supporting migrant workers in seasonal agriculture and social care to meet basic needs and to understand and exercise their rights, including through our Worker Power programme, which builds solidarity between workers and within communities.
