⛺ Tonight, Chris reports that our night shelter is full, with 14 people spending the night in sleeping pods outside in the cold.

📞 Inside, our volunteers are also supporting a pregnant woman. Chris explains that he has contacted Glasgow City Council to seek accommodation for her and is still asking for help.

These are the circumstances our team faces when every indoor space is taken and people continue arriving at our doors. We ask Glasgow City Council to respond urgently and help secure appropriate accommodation for those relying on our shelter and the pods outside.

🤝 Chris also invites you to learn more about our work and support the people who need it. If you would like to volunteer, we would be grateful to hear from you:

💔 ONE LEG. A WHEELCHAIR. AND NOWHERE TO SLEEP TONIGHT.

Tonight, a homeless man wheeled himself into Homeless Project Scotland’s night shelter, desperately asking for help.

Our volunteers contacted Glasgow City Council’s out-of-hours homeless service. Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership

📞 “We’ll call you back.”

When the call finally came, we were told:

❌ No wheelchair-accessible accommodation available after midnight.

❌ No private hotels can be booked for homeless people after midnight.

A man with one leg, in a wheelchair, facing a night sleeping rough on the streets of Glasgow.

💔 How can this possibly be acceptable in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 in 2026?

What happened to dignity? What happened to compassion? What happened to protecting our most vulnerable?

DISABILITY DOESN’T STOP AT MIDNIGHT. NEITHER SHOULD THE RIGHT TO A SAFE PLACE TO SLEEP.

First Minister of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Scottish Government Glasgow City Council, this man needs a safe, accessible place to sleep. Not another excuse.

❄️ THIS IS WHAT OUR PODS WILL LOOK LIKE IN WINTER. ❄️

Cold. Ice. Snow. Freezing temperatures.

While most of us will be able to close our front door, turn on the heating and climb into a warm bed, people experiencing homelessness will still need somewhere safe to go.

These pods are more than four walls and a roof. In the depths of a Scottish 🥶 , they could mean warmth instead of freezing cold, safety instead of the street, and dignity instead of desperation.

Nobody should be sleeping outside in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 this winter.

At Homeless Project Scotland , we will continue doing everything we can to make sure people have somewhere safe, warm and welcoming to turn to.

💙 No one should be left out in the cold.

Please share and help us spread the message.

THIS IS GLASGOW IN 2026. 💔

These photos were taken tonight.

Tents lined up on a Glasgow City Council Glasgow city-centre pavement. Behind every one of them is a human being someone’s son, daughter, mum, dad, brother or sister.

This should not be normal.
This should not be accepted.
And we should never become used to seeing it.

While most of the city sleeps behind a locked door, people experiencing homelessness are trying to get through the night in tents on a pavement.

At Homeless Project Scotland, our volunteers will continue doing everything we can to provide warmth, food, support and somewhere safer for people to turn.

But charity should never have to replace the basic right to somewhere safe to sleep.

Look at these photographs. This is happening here. This is happening now.

Please share them. Scotland needs to see the reality of homelessness on our streets.

⛺ Tonight, Scott speaks about the sleeping pods outside our shelter once again and the frustration of trying to secure accommodation for the people using them.

He reports another breakdown in communication with Glasgow City Council, leaving people outside while our volunteers continue working day and night to find them somewhere safe to stay.

📞 Every request for accommodation concerns someone whose situation needs attention. When communication breaks down, it is the person waiting for help who faces the consequences.

Scott asks Glasgow City Council to take responsibility and work with us to turn those requests into practical help. Our volunteers need a reliable response so that people can move indoors and begin looking beyond simply getting through another night.

💬 What would better cooperation between Glasgow City Council and our shelter look like to you? We welcome your ideas in the comments.

📢 OUR OPEN LETTER TO THOMAS Thomas Kerr MSP
Standing up for one homeless person does not mean turning our backs on another.
Homeless Project Scotland supports people born and raised in Scotland, veterans, families, refugees and others who have nowhere safe to sleep. Our volunteers see the human consequences of homelessness every day.

Following comments attributed to Thomas Kerr MSP in The The Scottish Sun, we are publishing an open letter asking him to clarify his position and engage constructively with our charity.

Helping someone exercise their legal rights is not the same as asking for special treatment. Where someone may have been wrongly refused accommodation, we help them access independent legal advice. We should not have to withdraw support from one group to prove that we care about another.

We stand up for Scottish homeless people. We also stand up for other homeless people who need our help. There is no contradiction between those commitments.

Our letter invites Mr Kerr to visit our services, meet our volunteers and understand why people turn to us for support.
The conversation should be about preventing rough sleeping, providing safe accommodation and finding practical solutions not setting vulnerable people against each other.

📄 Read our full public letter in the attached images. Please share it to help people understand our position.

Please keep comments respectful and focused on the issues.
