Aberdeen Cyrenians historically provided food and shelter to those in need but they have expanded their services to now include a variety of needs faced by people affected by homelessness in Aberdeen and the surrounding area.

The SPS (Scottish Prison Service) are one of the key partners, with ADJUST operating from within HMP Aberdeen and HMP Peterhead. The ADJUST SPS Coordinator makes up the final third of the ADJUST staff team. Support in-kind is also provided by identifying ADJUST participants and conducting needs screen assessments.
