Caroline McGeoch, a Security Section Leader who has worked at Asda Barrhead, was walking her store patrol route when she came across a young homeless man in the underground carpark.

An Asda worker has shared the story of when she helped rehouse a homeless man who she came across in her work carpark.

“I brought him into the store and rang an ambulance, I was really concerned as he was in quite a bad way and it was clear he hadn’t eaten in a while. We waited for the ambulance to come and I wrapped him in a sleeping bag to try and raise his temperature up and made him a bite to eat and some tea.” Whilst kind Caroline and the gentleman waited together, he opened up about his situation and struggles, explaining he has a job and a daughter but no home.

“I asked him to ring the support worker and I spoke to them, they explained there was nothing they could do for another three weeks due to being so busy. I couldn’t just put him back out on the street, thought at this point I’ll have to take him home with me!
