An Edinburgh-based charity has signed up to a new housing initiative to support women and children fleeing domestic abuse.
Cyrenians has become the first in Scotland to team up with the Women in Safe Homes Fund (WiSH).
WiSH buys properties and then leases them to housing charities for women who need somewhere safe to live after leaving an abusive relationship.
Cyrenians will lease up to 30 homes in Edinburgh, and offer tenants additional support to deal with their trauma.
