Glasgow charity feeding the vulnerable still homeless as latest council offer rejected

A Glasgow 'soup kitchen' has turned down a fresh offer of an indoor space to feed the most vulnerable city residents as temperatures plummet below freezing.

Glasgow City Council recently offered the Homeless Project Scotland (HPS) which currently operates on Argyle Street under Central Bridge, use of the St Francis Centre on Cumberland Street, which is open from 9am until 9pm most days.

The local authority said it was willing to “come and go” on the opening times but this was knocked back by HPS who say they want a building they can operate 24/7 with a capacity of more than 200 people.
