During April, Angela, the Lodging House Mission’s Interventions worker, along with volunteer Gill, provided support on 127 occasions. Emotional support as always was most common with benefits advice and support coming in a very close second.

Angela has also been working with Morgen, a student studying HNC Social Services at City of Glasgow College, who has been on placement at LHM since December 2021. Angela said, “It’s been a pleasure to support and guide her through her learning experience, it’s given us all the opportunity to look at our own practice in order to continue to provide the best possible service to the vulnerable men and women who come through our doors.”

Morgen said, “I have really been enjoying my time here at LHM, It’s opened my eyes to the struggles/issues that people have. I have particularly enjoyed learning how to help and support them, I have loved getting to know everyone.”
