AT THE FOREFRONT OF COMPASSIONATE CARE FOR THE CITY’S MARGINALISED SINCE 1826.
The Constant Call
For 200 years Glasgow City Mission has been at the forefront of providing care for those on the margins in Glasgow. As we celebrate 200 years of ongoing love, support and hope in the city, we look back with gratitude on all that has been accomplished and forward with renewed commitment to serving those who need it most.
Glasgow City Mission is the world’s first City Mission and has been at the forefront of compassionate care for the city’s marginalised since 1826. We offer spirit-led, faith-filled community to vulnerable adults and children within the city, by fighting against poverty and disadvantage in Glasgow. We strive to constantly adapt to the changing needs of our age and the specific needs of those we meet.
Through our three projects, we intend to go further, deeper and wider with our guests for their benefit.
