Shelter Scotland will be taking to Glasgow’s streets to mark World Homeless Day this week.
Staff and volunteers of the well-known charity will be on Argyle Street at 12pm issuing a 'Housing SOS' today.
In a 'minute of noise', the charity will be highlighting the increasing number of people experiencing homelessness and asking the public to join in as they demand urgent action to address the city’s worsening housing emergency.Shelter Scotland director, Alison Watson, said:"Glasgow’s housing emergency is devastating lives so we’re sending out a housing SOS.
“A household becomes homeless every 16 minutes on average, while 45 kids each day lose their home in Scotland. “What’s so frustrating is that it doesn’t have to be like this, we know that by delivering social homes the government can end our housing emergency and give hope to the thousands of people across Scotland experiencing homelessness.Homeless Day, we’re out on the streets of Glasgow not only demanding urgent action from those in power but urging the public to join our fight as well.
“At 12pm we’ll join together to make a noise that politicians can’t ignore, to demand they make sure everyone in Glasgow has somewhere to call home, and to remind them that none of us will be quiet until the job is done.”Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
