Sadly one of our regulars on Sunday nights passed away during the week ,big gentleman always took the basics, only what he needed and was always grateful for everything he received. Our thoughts go out to all his family and friends,also to the frontline staff Simon Community Scotland .

Due to an issue with our van we've had to cancel tonight's service. We're all absolutely gutted at letting our friends on the street down .

1/ 39 people assisted last night on our City's streets. Again some desperate stories and some people in desperate need of proper help and support .So many people just living on their wits and not daring to think of a future . When a chance of help and support comes along sadly some people are so

(1) Our volunteers assisted 45 people last night ,warm murky night with a heavy downpour thrown in for good measure ,tough night for our City's roughsleepers. Again our bags took a battering,tents ,pods sleeping bags ,mats ,footwear no snacks left and limited hot drinks.

Desperate Sunday night for our volunteers,47 people required our assistance . It's sad watching many young people visibly deteriorate week after week and getting caught up in the darkside of our City .Everything we normally supply took a battering tonight few trolleys left empty .

Thank you @EmmausGlasgow for helping us with a case which we used our Michelle McFarlane Fund to help a gentleman move into new accommodation from accommodation which was severely damaging his physical and mental health .Hopefully things will work out for him and his family.

1/34 people assisted on Sunday night by our volunteers, numbers consistently increasing and sadly no emergency accommodation and support available from funded professionally trained staff organisations. Few of our regulars missing from their usual pitches and not seen on our run,

26 people assisted last night ,some desperate cases, one young man at the end of his tether happy to end it all ,can't see an end to his agony, at times we're totally ill equipped for what's going on in our streets .So many young people wasting away.

Our volunteers assisted 22 souls on Mothering Sunday ,someone's family ,friend ,loved one. We know that it's a very complex issue but it's incredible how easily someone's life can spiral out of control and the help and support is sadly not there .
