Social Bite is a movement to end homelessness. We are a charity and social business providing homes, jobs, food, and support to empower people to transform their own lives.

Our vision is a society where no one should have to be homeless.

We challenge the status quo by pioneering solutions that create lasting change; from our daily free food provision from our Social Bite cafes,to our transformative The Social Bite Village in Edinburgh to our JobsFirst programme, we help break the cycle of homelessness and empower people to transform their own lives.

Join the movement to end homelessness by taking on the Edinburgh Marathon Festival for Social Bite

Where better to join the movement to end homelessness than by taking on the Edinburgh Marathon Festival in the city where Social Bite was born in 2012

Over 10 years later our first Social Bite cafe on Rose Street still provides free food every week day for those in need, Edinburgh is also home to our first ever Social Bite Village in Granton, a truly transformative accommodation model which support people experiencing homelessness on their journey to their own home.
