Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Our charity is dedicated to support people affected by homelessness and extreme poverty, we support the most vulnerable people of Glasgow. Our support consists of our pop up soup kitchen in Glasgow city centre twice weekly where we hand out hot meals, sandwiches, clothes, toiletries, sleeping bags, teas & coffees and most importantly the human interaction. We also operate our food bank from London Rd 3 times per week. We spend time getting to know our service users and by speaking with them, we find out the best ways to offer support. We have our community café in Cadder, where we pay a meal forward so our service users can come and get a hot meal in a lovely warm, safe environment and socialise with our volunteers and others. We also offer free cooking classes, well being courses to help with addiction and wellbeing. We have a gym and offer fitness classes, we have a bike lending library for children whose parents can't afford a bike and we offer much more support too.

From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.

If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions.
Copyright

From 30 June 2025, OSCR began collecting charity trustee information through OSCR Online. Providing this information is a legal requirement for all charities. The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.
