As Storm Eowyn hits Glasgow, a charity encourages the homeless to connect with services for safety and support during the severe weather.
This means folks should stay indoors if they can. But for those without a home, it’s a different story. Glasgow City Mission is encouraging anyone in need to connect with local charities for safety.
The CEO, Charles Maasz, mentioned that the number of street homeless is low, thanks to recent efforts to get people inside during the cold. It’s great to see people engaging with services and staying safe.
For anyone still out there, he advises reaching out to agencies that are open. The Lodging House Mission will serve breakfast but will close early. They’re doing their best to help despite the storm.
Charles also noted that the city’s goal is to get everyone indoors. If someone shows up needing a place to stay, there are options available. Homeless Project Scotland has a shelter, but it fills up fast.
He emphasized the importance of connecting with services, especially for newcomers to the city. The weather warning is serious, lasting from 10 am to 6 pm, with travel disruptions expected. It’s a tough time, but help is out there.
