We continue to be amazed and humbled by the commitment shown

as giving gloves.

Some have already been with temporary accommodation.

Before the closure, fundraisers from the Big Ibrox Sleep Out took it in turns to volunteer at the night shelter’s morning shift – helping to serve breakfast and clear beds.

Their fundraising efforts have been hailed as life-saving by shelter bosses.

Jack Geddes, marketing and fundraising manager at Glasgow City Mission, said: “We continue to be amazed and humbled by the commitment shown by the Rangers Charity Foundation and the Rangers fans for the night shelter.

“The money raised ensured that we were able to open for four out hats, scarves and

provided hotel months instead of three. Your generosity is saving lives, thank you so much.”

Louise took part in the event and went on to volunteer. She said: “What an absolutely humbling experience – hats off to the volunteers who help all the time, or even now and again!

“It was so good to see where the money we raised went and I wish I could help more.”

Another volunteer, Sharron, added: “We have just left the centre and it’s the best start to a working week I could have asked for.

“We gave our thanks to the team there but mostly they are so grateful for the money we have raised to keep them open through the month of March.”

On the completion of the two weeks, Rangers Charity Foundation director Connal Cochrane joined the volunteers and helped to officially present the donation to Glasgow City Mission.

Commenting on the visit, he said: “Seeing our fundraisers so passionately support the night shelter was an extremely proud moment for me.

“We were delighted to host more ‘Big Ibrox Sleep Outs’ than ever in 2019 and participants raised an incredible £60,000 – half of which ensures that the night shelter is able to remain open in a month when the weather is still very cold and guests are able to benefit from a free, warm place to sleep with food.
