We are proud of our enduring community partnership with Glasgow City Mission which has spanned over a decade, and our ongoing relationship with Simon Community Scotland.  

We have now donated a total of over £408,000 to homelessness related projects, something our supporters are hugely proud of.

Our Big Ibrox Sleep Outs have made an incredible impact on tackling homelessness in the city. The events have funded over 300 extra days of Glasgow City’s Mission’s winter provision, directly helping more than 6,000 individuals at risk of rough sleeping, as well as supporting a myriad of other projects including meal provision, Simon Community Scotland’s Connect Hub, warm winter clothing and sleeping bags, basic toiletries and more.

Our 2025 Sleep Outs raised over £50,000, with half the funds supporting projects with Glasgow City Mission and Simon Community Scotland, and half funding the Foundation’s own vital work in the local community.

To celebrate a decade of the Big Ibrox Sleep Outs, we created a special video in 2025, which you can watch below.

Glasgow City Mission is once again running an Overnight Welcome Centre this winter from within a local city centre hotel, providing emergency beds on site.  Trained staff are providing follow up support in order to support guests into the best possible outcome, resulting in them no longer rough sleeping.

Funds raised are also helping Simon Community Scotland provide basics such as winter clothing (jackets, hats, scarves and gloves) and moving in packs which contain essentials for a new home, as well as supporting the charity’s Connect Hub for women experiencing homelessness.
