🚨 3 PODS ON THE STREETS OF GLASGOW TONIGHT! 🚨

Chris from Homeless Project Scotland speaks out tonight.

💔 Three pods are three too many. One person sleeping on the street is one too many!

👏 But credit where credit is due! Tonight, Glasgow’s Out of Hours Homelessness Service helped accommodate 3 people, and we want to acknowledge that positive step.

We have always said that when things improve, we will recognise it. Working together is how we make a difference.

🏠 But we urgently need a BIGGER BUILDING!

Homeless Project Scotland needs more space so we can bring more vulnerable people indoors, provide more beds and offer the support people desperately need.

🤝 Let’s keep the conversation going, Glasgow City Council !

We want to work together, find solutions and make sure nobody is left sleeping on our streets.

This isn’t about blame. It’s about solutions, partnership and saving lives.

❤️ Three pods tonight. Our goal is ZERO.

🚨 URGENT CALL FOR CHANGE – GLASGOW’S OUT-OF-HOURS HOMELESSNESS SERVICE

Chris has recorded a powerful video directly appealing to Councillor Ricky Bell, Leader of Glasgow City Council, to urgently intervene and commission a complete overhaul of Glasgow’s homelessness Out-of-Hours service.

At Homeless Project Scotland, we believe the current system is not fit for purpose. We continue to witness situations night after night where vulnerable people struggle to access the emergency accommodation and support they desperately need.

This cannot continue. People experiencing homelessness deserve dignity, compassion and access to the help they are entitled to.

We are calling for an urgent, independent operational review, greater accountability, improved communication with frontline organisations and meaningful changes to how vulnerable people are supported overnight.

We want to work constructively with Glasgow City Council and the HSCP to deliver lasting improvements.

Councillor Ricky Bell, please listen to the concerns being raised from the frontline. The time for meaningful change is now.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Nobody should be left without help when they need it most.

✉️ In this video, our CEO and founder, Colin McInnes, revisits his invitation to the First Minister: visit Homeless Project Scotland, meet our team and hear directly from the people who need our support.

Colin explains that his requests have repeatedly received replies citing diary commitments. His invitation remains open, with the First Minister of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 welcome to choose a suitable day and time.

He also speaks about his determination to continue advocating for people experiencing homelessness despite what he describes as bullying, threats and pressure from planning application.

🤝 Our focus remains on the people coming through our doors. Their experiences deserve to be heard, and we hope the First Minister will make time to see this work firsthand.

📞 In this morning’s video, Chris describes another difficult night trying to secure accommodation through Glasgow City Council’s out-of-hours emergency service, with the shelter full and sleeping pods outside.

He raises concerns about how guests and volunteers were spoken to, particularly when someone was distressed or English was not their first language.

Chris recounts being told to move away while helping a guest on speakerphone, with the guest then asked for a mobile number to continue the conversation directly. He questions why volunteers’ assistance was being excluded when people needed help explaining their circumstances.

🤝 Our volunteers give their time freely to support people through these conversations. We ask Glasgow City Council to treat guests respectfully, recognise their communication needs and work constructively with those they turn to for support.

Asking for emergency accommodation can already be overwhelming. The response should help people feel heard and understand what happens next.

💬 What would make these conversations more accessible for someone who is distressed or facing a language barrier? We welcome your suggestions below.

⏱️At 3:28 this morning, Chris reports that our volunteers are still making calls for people needing accommodation. The shelter is full, and sleeping pods are outside during the storm.

📞 Our team contacted Glasgow City Council’s out-of-hours emergency service for every person seeking our support, with waits exceeding 30 minutes just to speak to someone.

Chris describes responses he found dismissive and difficulties helping guests communicate their needs, including those facing language barriers. People come to our volunteers for support, and we ask that their wish for assistance is respected.

He also reports that people were offered taxis to police stations or hospitals when accommodation was unavailable. We ask Glasgow City Council to explain these responses and ensure that requests for shelter lead to appropriate accommodation.

Our volunteers continue working through the night, but people waiting for help need the chance to rest indoors.

✉️ Please consider writing to your local councillors to raise these concerns and ask what action will follow.

🤲 In this video, Colin calls for greater compassion in the way people experiencing homelessness are treated.

He describes guests spending 14 or 15 consecutive nights in our shelter, pleading for somewhere more settled to stay.

🏨 Colin also raises concerns about reports of bedbugs and cockroaches in hotel accommodation costing £195 a night. People seeking refuge should be able to expect somewhere clean, safe and appropriate.

He recounts the experience of an elderly couple who came to our doors last week and, according to the account he shares, were told to return to Greece because they had previously lived there for five years.

These are deeply troubling accounts. We ask Glasgow City Council to take the circumstances of each person seriously and address concerns about the accommodation being provided.

💬 What would a more compassionate response look like for people facing situations like these? We welcome your views in the comments.
