The Glasgow Winter Night Shelter provided accommodation for more than 500 people last winter

A lifeline shelter which provides support for the homeless over the cold winter months has reopened.

The Glasgow Winter Night Shelter will provide basic emergency accommodation for those with nowhere to sleep but the street.

Operated by Glasgow City Mission, the vital service runs in partnership with a variety of partner agencies all of whom are determined to tackle homelessness in Glasgow.

Last year saw a staggering 597 individuals use the service on 3,839 occasions between 1 December and 31 March.

The Glasgow Winter Night Shelter will once again be located inside LHM's building at 35 East Campbell Street, off the Gallowgate and near the Barrowlands Ballroom, G1 5DT. Doors open at 10pm from December 1 to March 31 including Christmas and New Year.

To volunteer or donate, visit the Glasgow City Mission website.
