Story

Homeless Project Scotland is a charity organisation that is dedicated to feeding the homeless and vulnerable in our city every day. Unfortunately, we have been faced with a crisis as Glasgow city council will not allow our current fridge van to drive in the low emission zones. This means that we are unable to collect and deliver crucial food supplies to some of the most vulnerable people in our community.

The situation has become so urgent, that we are now in need of a new fridge van that meets the low emission requirements. We know that times are tough for everyone right now, but we are asking for your assistance in raising funds for this much-needed purchase.

The council has deemed collecting food and feeding the hungry as non-essential, but we know that this is not the case. We are determined to continue our efforts to help those who need it most, which is why we are turning to you for help.

Any donation, big or small, can make a difference. By donating, you will be directly helping homeless Project Scotland to continue to collect and deliver food to the homeless and vulnerable in our community.

Together we can make a real difference. We appreciate anything you can give and your support will not be forgotten.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and continued support.

Glasgow City Council Say

Thank you for your recent application for a time-limited exemption for the Glasgow Low Emission Zone. Exemptions will only be granted in exceptional circumstances and where the organisation applying can clearly demonstrate that timely efforts are being made to comply with LEZ requirements. Private vehicles WILL NOT be considered for time-limited exemptions. Your application did not meet the above conditions and therefore a time-limited exemption cannot be granted in this instance. Please note that timely efforts to comply with LEZ requirements would generally require a replacement vehicle to be on order with delivery being awaited.
