Great story featured in the Glasgow Times highlighting our additional soup kitchen in Glasgow. We have added a fortnightly Sunday soup kitchen night to our existing programme.
On the second and fourth Sunday of every month we will be offering food, clothing and advice on the corner of Cadogan Street and Blythswood Street in the city centre from 7pm to 9pm, alongside volunteers from partners Help The Homeless, The Invisibles and the University of Glasgow.
Director of Emmaus Glasgow Richard Allwood said: “At Emmaus Glasgow we stand in solidarity with people in need. We aim to help people build back self-worth and self-esteem from experiences of homelessness.
Part of what we do involves supporting people into work and training at our charity shops in Partick and Hamiltonhill and part of this is by offering people opportunities to support others within the wider community.
It’s a sad to see more and more people in need of help, but by working together with our partners we can help stem the tide, and remind people Emmaus Glasgow is here to offer a safe place to live for people at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness.”
