History

• 1997 – Move On was established with financial ‘start up’ support from the Big Issue in Scotland to provide a range of services for people affected by homelessness.
• We started as a crisis driven reactive housing resettlement support for homeless people. After a short time and with staff feedback we evolved to focus more on longer-term proactive homelessness prevention work.
• 1999 – We developed our first employability service and a 1:1 support service for people who had been homeless and needed support to manage in the community.
• Over time we developed a successful peer education approach offering opportunities for young people who had experienced homelessness and the care system the opportunity to become volunteers.
• 2009 – We secured Inspiring Scotland investment, against stiff competition, to develop our employability and homelessness prevention activities for 14-19yr olds.
