I have had substance/alcohol issues

Are you affected by homelessness, a criminal record or a history of substance/alcohol misuse? If so, and you need support to move towards work, training or education, the City of Edinburgh Council funds a service that can help you. 

ENCOMPASS

This service supports people with complex barriers into education, training or employment. This includes people in recovery from: 

  • substance/alcohol misuse 
  • previous offending behaviour 
  • homelessness 
  • other complex issues. 
  • It is run by Access To Industry. They can support you to overcome the barriers you face at a pace that works for you.
