Giving the homeless community in Glasgow a route back into employment.

SEEING OPPORTUNITY

Through our work with Glasgow City Mission we discovered the following information about homelessness in Glasgow:

- With a population of nearly 600,000, the amount of homeless applications for Glasgow City in 2015/16 was 6652 (data from shelterscotland.com), which is staggering.

- What we saw was that a majority of the public and the people who are homeless themselves were not aware of the support that is available to the homeless.

We wanted to do something about it and give the homeless in Glasgow an opportunity to make a living and integrate themselves fully back into the community.
