Figures from the hospitality and nightclub industry have launched a campaign on behalf of a Glasgow homeless charity.
Night time Industries Association (NTIA) and The Scottish Hospitality Group (SHG) are looking to raise money to help Homeless Project Scotland buy new LEZ compliant vehicles.
The Hospitality sector in Scotland is renowned for its generosity and support not only in crisis but in support of those less fortunate within our local communities.

The charity feeds hundreds of vulnerable people from their soup kitchen on Argyle Street and requires use of three vans to provide vital assistance to teams on the ground.
Glasgow City Council has given a two-month exemption for a refrigerated van but the remaining vans are unable to be used.
SHG has started a fundraiser to help towards the cost of buying new vans with additional money going towards helping the charity continue its work.
A spokesperson for NTIA Scotland said: "It’s times like this when communities need to come together and look after those that are less fortunate, we are all facing tough times but are strength comes from our collective voice and support.
“The Homeless Project plays an important role within the community, but with the implementation of the LEZ scheme has been left them with most of their support vehicles non-compliant. The work they do in Glasgow is vitally important, and without doubt saves lives. We need to ensure we do everything possible to support this project to protect the vulnerable within our community.”
