A kind-hearted Glasgow clothing shop owner is hoping to save lives this winter by handing out free 'sleeping pods' for the homeless.
Gerard McKenzie-Govan, 41, wants the pods to go to those who are most vulnerable at this time of year after learning about the innovative one-person emergency shelters for rough sleepers, which are made by inmates at Addiewell Prison in West Lothian.
He currently runs Blankfaces, which is a not-for-profit clothing shop in the West End that doubles up as a drop-in centre for those in need, and wanted to do even more to help this winter by hoping to help people who need it most survive during what is the coldest and most difficult time of the year.
