Welcome to Glasgow City Mission's (GCM) website.
We provide a range of services which are designed to improve the everyday lives of homeless people in the city centre, and children and families in Govan.
Our charity was founded in 1826 and was the very first City Mission. Today there are over 60 City Missions located all around the world.
You can watch a film on our work by clicking the link to your right. It is six minutes long and was made at no cost to ourselves by MNE Productions.
If you would wish to discuss any aspect of the work of GCM, please call me on 0141 445 8608 or e-mail: andrew@glasgowcitymission.com

A new home
We are excited to announce that in summer of this year GCM will be moving into a new purpose built centre and expanding our work with our city’s most vulnerable. Just take a look on the right to see how the finished building will look!
The new purpose built centre was agreed in exchange for the current land used for our city centre project. We have now started building on a new site just off Argyle Street in the centre of Glasgow. The new building will host our city centre project working with disadvantaged adults and become the charity’s new headquarters.
Our Child and Family Centre will continue to be based in Govan as we support the children and families of such a deprived community.
The building will be based over five floors where we will continue to meet people’s immediate needs by providing food and support but will also offer an improved programme of day activities. This will range from a gymnasium and healthy eating courses, to promote health and well being, to a woodworking club, art class and music suite to encourage creative expression. We will also provide educational opportunities through an IT café and numeracy and literacy programme.
We have been blessed with a fantastic new centre and we have a great vision that this new building will offer more to those who have so little in our city.
Can you share in this opportunity to help those in need by supporting a local Glasgow charity that has been working in the city for 182 years? We now need to fill the inside of this centre by providing the equipment to open our expanded programme of activities. If you would like to support this new building individually or through the support of your organisation please contact us at info@glasgowcitymission.com or on 0141 445 8608.
