Today we publish a piece from a long standing friend and supporter of our group. Heed these words as they come from a knowing source. The closest feeling to having nowhere to live is that of a broken heart. It is a feeling of abandonment, of rejection and loneliness. When you are homeless you feel…… Continue reading Cold Hard Truth
Update from Our Team On The Ground
How many this winter? How many this year? Many of us who’ve bought the flag, wore the t-shirt and walked the walk of Scotland’s failed policies on homelessness are now beyond persuasion. Personally I’m embarrassed to have taken a wage. Glasgow City Council and our National Government for decades, have wasted time, money and energy.…… Continue reading Update from Our Team On The Ground

Reaching out to those who need us.
In recent weeks we have started an outreach operation and have moved onto the streets in search of rough-sleepers due to decreasing numbers at Cadogan Street.

Today, the club continues…… Continue reading We thank the Celtic Foundation for carrying on the good work of Walfrid and co.
Merry Christmas and Thanks to Everyone.

All we hear are plans and pledges to tackle…… Continue reading Merry Christmas and Thanks to Everyone.
Peak Homelessness at Sleep Out in the Park.
The homeless industry gets its coffers filled by donations from the public. This weekend past was peak homelessness as the annual Sleep Out in the Park event took place in four cities across Scotland. Last year we were told that they raised £4 million to go towards tackling, or ending, homelessness. This year…… Continue reading Peak Homelessness at Sleep Out in the Park.

The murky Glasgow Action Group reared its ugly head again yesterday to demand the council “tidy the place up” and get rid of the homeless from Glasgow city-centre. The group is led by the multi-millionaire James Mortimer and his wealthy cohorts including Donald McLeod, the owner of the Cathouse and Garage, and Kevin…… Continue reading Hands off our Homeless.

Donations keep pouring in and we have had to take the decision to end our appeal and refuse anymore offers of clothing. We only have so much space and there are only so any homeless people in Glasgow so we will kindly have to refuse any offers of help in the immediate future.…… Continue reading No More Jackets!
