Housing and homelessness charity Shelter Scotland is set to bring a new fashion pop up shop to Glasgow Central Station for one month.
Commuters will have the chance to grab some pre-loved fashion bargains from March 6 to April 2, with the garments helping to fund Shelter Scotland amidst the housing emergency.
The shop will be open during the station’s peak times, from 8am to 7pm, Monday to Saturday, and 10am to 4pm Sunday.

The pop-up is a result of Shelter Scotland’s partnership with Network Rail. The organisations have been working together since 2019 as part of the railway operator’s charter to tackle homelessness on its network.
Shelter Scotland Retail Area Manager, Alexandra Owens, said: “We’ve pulled together some great pieces from our network of shops across Scotland and will be putting them on sale in our pop up throughout our four weeks stay, so our customers can be assured of quality throughout the month.
“Scotland is in the middle of a housing emergency. Far too many people, including more than 9,000 children, across the country are denied their right to a safe, secure, and permanent place to call home.
“Shelter Scotland’s mission is to change that, and every penny spent in our pop-up will help keep us in that fight.”
Keira McLuskey, Head of Sustainability & Social Value at Network Rail, added: "We’re excited to be welcoming Shelter Scotland into the station for such an important and worthwhile cause.
"The pop-up is the latest in our ongoing partnership as we work together to support some of the country’s most vulnerable people.
“We encourage everyone who’s in the station between March 6 and April 2 to pop into the shop, grab a bargain and help in the fight against the housing emergency.”
