The charity behind Scotland's busiest outdoor soup kitchen wants to find a building for winter.
A homeless charity which operates Scotland's busiest outdoor soup kitchen has made a plea for help to find a building as winter approaches.
"The cost of living is going up, recessions, Christmastime, that queue could be all the way to George Square."The St Francis Centre in the Gorbals was put forward by the council as a possible locationThe charity said one location in Cadogan Square was rejected because it was a "dingy basement". The centre was then being renovated but the council felt it could be a viable option once work was completed.Mr McInnes told BBC Scotland: "Never once did we say we weren't interested.
The council pledged their support towards finding accommodation for the HPS during a council meeting in June. "On Friday night there's fights, it doesn't happen every night but sometimes you get drunks and 'junkies' who start pushing and fighting," he said.
