A Scots shop owner has been handing out free 'sleeping pods' for homeless people in a bid to save lives this winter.
Gerard McKenzie-Govan, 41, runs the Blankfaces nonprofit clothing shop in Glasgow's West End which also doubles up as a drop in centre for those in need.
He ordered a batch of the pods after hearing they were being made by inmates at Addiewell Prison in West Lothian and hopes they will play a part in helping people survive the cold streets of Glasgow and the most gruelling time of the year for those with nowhere else to go.
