Dean and Cauvin Young People's Trust

General information

Dean and Cauvin Trust is one of Edinburgh’s oldest charities, established in 1733 by merchants in the city to rescue children and young people from the streets who were begging and prostituting themselves to survive.

The focus of the work has changed as society’s attitude towards children has changed but we continue to work to keep young people from living on the streets and focus on working with young people aged 15 – 21 as they make the transition from being looked after and accommodated to living independently in the community.
