G.U.S.H
Glasgow University Service to the Homeless – a scheme that offers students the opportunity to help homeless people living on the streets of Glasgow.
GUSH currently assists with the Glasgow Simon Community Soup Kitchen on a Wednesday night in Glasgow city centre, where volunteers hand out tea, coffee, biscuits etc to the service users and have the opportunity to have a chat with them.
Volunteers are offered training, run by the SRC, on best practice and what to expect when they start volunteering, and all volunteers are welcome to attend further vocational training courses run by the Simon Community.
Volunteers are also welcome to get involved in a more organisational role with this and with other events run by the Simon Community.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, for further information, or to get an application form, please call the SRC on 0141 339 8541 or e-mail volunteer@src.gla.ac.uk
