Our weekly Open Door Meals service supports anyone who is experiencing homelessness, vulnerably housed or suffering from poverty or social exclusion.

Every Wednesday from 5:00pm - 6:30pm at the Grassmarket Centre, a two-course, freshly-prepared meal is served by our friendly team of GCP volunteers and staff.

In 2023, we served 2126 meals, an average of 41 people per week.

Other services provided alongside can include:

Volunteer hairdressers from local salons and our team help individuals feel cared for and dignified with free haircuts.

Digital Drop-in Service through GCP’s Digital Lifelines Scotland funding includes:

- Free provision of Laptops, Tablets, Phones & Connectivity devices

- Ongoing advice & training

The Open Door Meal is followed by a free weekly film from our award-winning Community Cinema, please see https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/grassmarket-community-picture-house-14379817006.
