‘Giving the Vulnerable a Chance' Campaign

'Giving the Vulnerable a Chance' is a series of homeless challenges with the vision to educate, inspire and mobilise individuals to reach out to the vulnerable in their communities.

Now, from 26th November - 25th December, Gordon is in his home country, walking the streets in the 8 Scottish cities. It will be cold, dark and lonely.

Follow his journey as he meets (1) the vulnerable people across Scotland, (2) the incredible people and organisations who support and love them...
