The volunteer's are just the tip of the iceberg they have loads of people donating and alot of government grants but yes they are great and what they do is unbelievable to feed the homeless! Keep doing the good stuff billy mate 👍
As a young Turkish biomedical engineer who came to study live and work in Glasgow for 5 years now having become Glaswegian Aye, I've seen familiar faces those kindred folk who've been dealt a hand as such that they have to be like that, been to all the ins and outs of all the streets and roads of Glasgow, very magnetizing people, yes you see the streets the people and roughness but it's just Glasgow and it's people taking care of each other from whatever creed yada or Yoda you come from . Really the True Scots take care of everyone and each other, I have countless recollections of being helped and of helping others, it's deeply humane, banter, belter at the same time man, my deepest respects and loves to this beautiful country and her people.
What a lovely tribute to Glasgow and Scotland. We are a peace loving nation and just want what is best for all our citizens, no matter what their country of origin
Nice to hear you say that. You may well be Turkish but you’ve chosen this city & country as your home….so from my point of view……yer a weenie & a Scot……hope you love our country😊
I worked in Glasgow for many years helping people find homes. The problem is once they have been allocated a home, they have no way to manage. They often have no furniture, no way to set up payments for rent etc, no or little understanding of budgeting so often the tenancies don't work out. More support is required to ensure people can cope with the daily things we take for granted, like cooking, shopping, menu planning and getting along with neighbours
Have done the same line of work as yourself and couldn’t agree more ! People are given homes without further support to help them manage, then the cycle repeats 😞
The truth is some people will never be able to cope with the reality of keeping a home, their lives are too chaotic and their background too dark. I think we have to be realistic about the chances of people that fall into this category. What to do with them, I have no idea😢
@@emcg.9655we help and support them in each and every way we can . I’ve been an addict for 30 plus years I was sleeping in a bin cupboards at the age of 16 due to an abusive parent.I came into recovery in 2019 with zero life skills I couldn’t cook I had absolutely no concept of bills money management how to actually properly look after myself including having boundaries n stuff . My self belief was shocking my self esteem and worth even worse. It’s been a long hard and very challenging process to be sat here in a clean home not using drugs paying bills and now eating most days . I’m about to start a development worker job and I’m involved with recovery community development in my own area (I’m not too far along the coast from Glasgow ). We have to be the change we want to see .My disgusting childhood had a major impact on who I became as a person and I’ve had to do and keep doing a lot of work on myself internally. Help support and Instil the belief in people that they can be someone else and hold their hand a wee bit for a while. As crazy as this might sound when you take an addict away from addiction all the stuff that created the problem still exists it’s the stuff behind the addiction that needs to be eradicated and that’s a super complex task as it’s gonna look different for each and every person. I really feel it for those trapped out there in active addiction and homelessness it’s a horrific place to be .My own town is strewn with broken people.I hope to make a difference in my new job even if I can help one person out of the not so merry go round I’ll go to my grave a happier person. Stuff like this isn’t all warm and shiny so it lacks proper investment from the government. People all messed up don’t look too good on a county or it’s leaders . We’ve had the discussion for years now about what to do and it seems to fall on deaf ears. We need investment we need more people like those absolute saints who stand out and feed and help some of our most vulnerable people. Billy thanks for the Vid fella 🙏🏼 One love to all my rock n roll soul brothers and sugarspun soul sisters out there. Take care stay safe 💟✊🏼☮️🙏🏼
I took a job in a building just around the corner from central about 10 years ago. I was there about a week and on my lunch break I headed down towards this McDonald’s, on the way outside a greggs I witnessed something that impacted me in a way so profoundly it still sticks with me, I lll never forget it. I came past a young guy probably early 20s max, it was November & absolutely freezing, the young man was uncontrollably crying, whaling, telling a young girl who had obviously stopped to help him that he couldn’t survive another night on the streets, he just simply couldn’t do it anymore, he was cold, starving, terrified. I’ve never seen such absolute helplessness in a human being before or since. I cried the rest of that lunch break and most of that day atleast. I took a week sick line and never went back. I’m in tears even writing this because the pain that young man was in is still so fresh in my mind. I pray for him and the rest of these poor people.
The Results of an SNP run Glasgow. In the words of Susan Aitken (Leader of Glasgow city council). " All Glasgow needs is a wee spruce up". She's an embarrassment.
@@terrytibs1977 shite.... Glasgow has a had a policy of ensuring everyone who presents as homeless being given accomodation since the pandemic under this SNP administration. Fair enough its usually B&B or temp flats to start with before moving into permanent accom when flats become available in their chosen area. No one has to sleep on the streets in Glasgow unless its their own choice, which some actually do.... 6 at the last count.
Well done Billy for highlighting the homeless and forgotten in Glasgow as a glaswegian myself I'm ashamed of our council James English at Christmas documentary is worth a watch All the best billy good vid m8
Always noticed that many places of Scotland seem similar to Liverpool. At least the culture, as well as Ireland of course. Many of us scousers originate from them ways after all.
A humbling honest video we should all be thankful what we have any of us could end up on the streets and people should never judge anybody who's homeless, big respect to volunteers who help, just subbed cheers
Lost my wallet in Glasgow a few weeks ago with cards and around £100 in cash. A couple managed to find my wallet and phone number, they called me to let me know they had it, was returned safely. Tried giving them £40 as a kind gesture but they weren’t having it. It was a lovely young foreign couple. Hope they get some good Karma back at some point. Visited Liverpool a few years ago and it’s a lovely city with kind people, to be honest it surpassed my expectations, will defo revisit!
A few years back, I went to Liverpool for a concert and the people we were seated next to took us under their wing for the remainder of our stay, total strangers- some people are just truly the salt of the earth. Liverpool itself had a friendly atmosphere. As does Edinburgh (where I'm from) and Newcastle. Some places like London and Manchester don't have that same happy-go-lucky atmosphere and feel genuinely unsafe.
"People Make Glasgow." I was in Glasgow a couple of weeks ago. I felt safer there than Newcastle City Centre. Maybe it's because I'm a Glaswegian....who knows. Things haven't changed in generations. My father worked a soup kitchen in Glasgow City Centre 40+ years ago. Same issues, different faces. Alcohol back then, drugs now. Everyone has a story of how they came to be down and out. Any one of us could find ourselves there. One of the best things you can give someone after shelter and food is kindness......
You're a good guy Billy son, your compassion and humanity shines through in your videos brother. Keeping you and your loved ones in prayer. I hope too as Christmas time approaches you stay safe and have a fabulous time.
Great content Bill , been travelling up to Glasgow a couple times a year to Barrowlands for years and have a few good pals up there so i feel a connection with city in a sense. BIG well done lad highlighting the homeless and the vulnerable issues the city has and showing the fantastic people who volunteer to help. Great has gone out of Britain and leaves a shit taste in my mouth with people of the streets and our government more concerned about putting immigrants up in hotels with all the trimmings why our own try and survive living rough swept to one side and forgotten.
exactly!!! we can send our rnli to escort them here and taxi them straight to hotels with no questions asked. We are being mugged off in our own homes! this sickens me, the home office last week had to admit they have outbid local councils by millions to buy houses for asylum seekers. to make it worse, that is our taxes yet again!!! its not right,ffs! im sick of being called racist just because i believe we need to help our fellow British, not open the doors to the world instead.
what utter racist nonsense. Government are more concerned with pitting us against each other and you've swallowed it hook line and sinker. They aren't ignoring the homeless because of immigration, they are ignoring the homeless because they're Tories.
@@Camille_Anderson na Camille you're absolutely a racist if that's what you think. We are a rich country, we can house everybody and it should be obvious. You're mopping up right wing propaganda like a sponge in a filled bucket.
Good to hear you have the sense to blame the guv and not the immigrants . A lot of whom are refugees from wars . The guv need to employ more ppl to evaluate the refugees and weed out out any chancers ! The real refugees deserve help . Chancers need deporting ! The immigration staff are NOT coping . If they are understaffed employ more to get this problem sorted .
Keep it going Billy mate your the Only one not talking about all that Decca Shite! You are a True inspiration to a lot of people Billy my Partner and i watch you every morning 🌄 sending lots of Love and Light to and your beautiful family God bless pal from Stirling Scotland 🏴⚔️💚 xx
Berny is a pal of mine, fellow posso boy known him since primary school, sad to see him like this was always a genuine boy even if he’s a hun 😂 wish him all the best ❤
The area he was is the nice part where wee go shopping or out for a night out fancy restaurants.. go to the gorbils or other places outside central station that's dangerous at night.. Central station is where you go and will be safe and homeless no there's people about with spare change so go there rather than beg in there area where they wouldn't get a penny and would probably get a kicking from the young mob .. Central is the safest all camera's lots of nice bars and restaurants unlike other parts of Glasgow
Ya same thing here. In Toronto. Rents are 2 k. Per month. Again caused by. Lax immigration rules. Our real estate market . Is a place to launder dirty Chinese money. Drug money. . If I'm wrong. Watch CBC special Vancouver. . Watch it.
Just a little tip Billy, the wind blowing into the mic muffles the sound, but if u put a small like sock over the mic it stops the wind muffling the sound, just a tip mate. Keep up these homeless vids and show the real life and real world. These homeless are the invisible people that no one gives a 2nd thought to about there struggles. God bless you Mr Moore.
You could use a baby sock and just cover the bottom part of the phone to cover the mic BUT test it out first. The reason I mentioned this my mate use to do YT vids and he had the same problem with wind and he cut a baby sock just above the toes of the sock and covered his mic with the sock and it worked. I know this sound a bit mad but I’m only mentioning it as a cheap easy fix and just helps with your content. Try it if it works then good if not you have lost nothing. Thanks laah
Fascinated by this one, Billy. It's where I live now and I work with some of the very vulnerable people of the city. The four corners, as well has having huge problems at the weekends and nightime, has been a focal point for child sexual exploitation in Glasgow. And it has also attracted some really unpleasant people from all over Scotland as well because of its reputation. However, I spoke to a senior cop last week and he had said to me that they were now noticing that a lot of the people who congregated around the four corners had now move elsewhere. And the place they had moved to was the area you were in where you saw people arguing with each other and getting moody near to the funfair. That's the area near to St Enoch's underground station. At weekends that place has now become popular with kids from all over the city to congregate, and it is causing police and social work a load of problems. Anyway, hope you enjoyed your visit.
That used to be Boots corner back in the 70s and early 80s no problems then. What has happened since? Thatcher and individualisim an entitlement culture where we are all shouty customers. no respect for public services or the environment from all walks of society. No give just take and destroy and make life miserable for everyone.
Good seeing you earlier billy at the soft play sorry for holding you up bro with the kid. Glasgow very similar too Liverpool both rough but big hearts! All the best billy 🤝
Great video, you meet some amazing people, just because they’re living on the streets the humanity and humour still shines through. Real love and respect to those who give their time to help. Governments should be ashamed
To some people it sounds like the Glaswegians are arguing and being aggressive but they’re not really, it’s just the way they communicate Good video Billy
Billy , I’m an ex scouse lad , if I known you was in the city I would of give you a tour , plus share my experience going through the Homless system in Glasgow ( South side Homless) you want to see poor quality care lad, should of gone to the Queens park Hotel , that’s where the reality that our leaders, MSP’s have got it all wrong , god bless you billy LA ! ❤️🙏🏻
@@kevindurcan7072 Govanite born & raised, moved to Liverpool lol!Both cites have so much in common & i love both people! kindest people & best accents!! lol!

Scousers and Glaswegians are so alike Camille,both very celtic "not the team" people,strong sense of identity and pride in that,friendly and funny "and" a little bit mad too 😂
Brought up in possil. went to Australia a long time ago and 3 weeks ago came back for a holiday and catch up with my lovely family, Glasgow for the most part is a wonderful city, just a few people lost their way in life, Stuart Cameron,, 18 Stonyhurst st,, 😢😊
Installed steel security panels and doors in most of the schemes in and around Glasgow for years, done all over North Lanarkshire too, seen a few sights in those years but IMO the three worst places for working in etc were Barrowfield near ParkHead, Easterhouse and the No-1 Ferguslie Park, miss those days in that job. The homeless situation now in Glasgow is a disgrace, it's a shame Sturgeon or now that clown Humza don't walk through Glasgow and take in the mess instead of looking away like it doesn't exist, bloody disgrace. Mind doing all the security screens for the old wallpaper building at Robertson Street back around 1998 / 99 - Junkies were living in it for years, the day we went in after the police was a real eyeopener on the sheer amount of used needles, when the building was secure they still broke in most weeks, I still remember getting a callout on Christmas day as I was on standby. Thanks again Bill.
@@grantross3600 We had a ground flat to secure one day in Stamford Street, the tenant had went to count and ended up getting a short sentence, from memory it was like 6 moon however he had a German Shepherd dog and before he left for court had bought a full case of tinned dog food, he opened every can and placed them all over the flat in every room, he must have thot the dog would just eat a can per day and would be ok alone till he got lib'd, but the dog ate all the cans of food in just a few days then shat everywhere, I went down 2the housing and explained I was refusing 2do the installation until someone cleared all the shit, never seen so much dog shit in my life, place was mega bad, the dog had also cut all it's nose as was barking at the window at anyone walking past and one day broke the glass.
Just a suggestion for anyone looking for options, Housing options / military matters which is a subsidiary to the charity/ service amazing, Ryan Macdonald saved my life , it’s more than just homelessness, it’s all the complex issues surrounding the situation, Childhood trauma, substance issues, PTSD ( Military) complex trauma , the list goes on , two years going round in circles in Glasgow, asses refer ,I was lucky as ex veteran I got access to multiple charities, as soon as I was re houses in North Lanarkshire, my life has changed , massive shout out to Phoenix Futures Coatbridge Karen and the crew the best ! , but try Housing options ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yeah Billy, was a accurate discription of central Glasgow in your film. I was an ex Glasgow Black cab driver for 30 years. So I have seen it all. Still this city has a huge heart and its people are second to none...thanks again Billy.
I've lived in Scotland for 15 years after moving up with my wife & family. I've been out in Glasgow many time day & night & with my London accent have had no problems with Glaswegians. I found them to be helpful & humourus at the same time. They will go out of their way to help you. The odd drunk you meet is "nae bother", as they say. In my opinion Glasgow is one of the most welcoming places I've been to & I always enjoy coming here for nights out & visiting the relations.
@assi2424 definitely sad to see. Covid was the worst I've seen it tbh it was like the zombie apocalypse as they had been unable to get digs due to restrictions.
hope they get him & his dog a home. im sick of seeing people going straight into hotels for free after arriving illegally, whilst our own are going through hell! last week the home office confirmed they have outbid councils to buy up houses to home asylum seekers. our taxes given to foreigners again. utter disgrace.
I met Greg and Roxy several months ago, if I'm honest Roxy got my attention. Beautiful dog, well kept and obviously much loved. I had a few words with Greg and gave him a coupla pounds, only decent thing to do when you realise how much you have yourself.
im from birmingham and i went to glasgow a few months ago right around where you are in this video everyone is so cool and unique and just overall amazing people even early hours of the morning everyone is sound.
It’s so sad, I found this quite upsetting even although I walk past them when I’m in Glasgow. I’m also travel to Manchester a lot and it’s the same. Poor souls everywhere. I remember this young beautiful girl used to stop me in Deansgate and ask for money, as the months went she declined to a point where she could hardly speak. I’ll never forget that. Thanks to all the amazing people who help them.
You've not been to Govannhill then, it's the pits full of Algerians,Romanians,the lot have taken over the whole area, prostitute's, men selling their own children,robbing innocent people at cash machines take a trip here a right eye opener.
I’m told Glasgow suffered when we went into the common market - suddenly it wasn’t the main port. My great great grandfather was a Glaswegian boilermaker who was born in Glasgow in about 1840 my name is Scottish for John - Ian - the surname I use is my Grandmother’s maiden name dad was illegitimate in 1927 - very unusual then! The rest of my ancestors come from my home town area. It is so sad that the statue is of somebody homeless. I’ve had 21 jobs since I was 13 - I just gave up after that.
The statue is Homeless Jesus. It's behind a church. The artist put these statues all around the world to highlight homelessness. I think the question it asks is, would you walk past jesus in this situation?
Sadly its not Just Glasgow or Liverpool its all over! Time for the homeless the weary the broken to get proper help from this joke of a government, Glad people lime Billy highlighting this but mainstream media must do more & put pressure on government & councils! Respect & regards Billy & young Joe 💯⭐️👍 #helpthehomeless
That was quite respectful. I hope everyone in this videos is doing well. Hope you're doing okay too big yin. I'm always worried I'll end up homeless because of my bad mental health (mostly panic attacks - never violent or aggressive), I just think I'm dying when it happens. The amount of jobs I've been sacked from when they say "you didn't put down you have panic attacks when we hired you", just cause I had a bad one and had to sit down and regulate my breathing for ten minutes - and there was nowhere on the form to put panic attacks down, and nobody who'd realise panic attacks are different dependent on the person.
Hi bill, this is typical britain at the moment, all the major cities have all got homeless and drug problems, its such a shame that our country has come to this and nobody knows what to do. In london its everywhere you go, in fact its getting worse. Good video bill, keep it up
Billy well done mate for how far you’ve come in life it’s not an easy thing to turn a bear trap into a spring I’m from Glasgow and was on the streets and in and out of prison when I was a teenager so I know what it’s like I moved to Liverpool your neck of the woods thirty years ago had a few sentences down here to but my missus has kept me on the narrow we live in the brook but much respect brother that’s how it’s done
Wonder if there's anywhere in the Uk, without the same problems? Orwell's book, 'Down and Out in Paris and London', was published 90 years ago and things haven't improved.
Hi keep it up you are doing a great job and having fun making some brilliant videos superstar Ali Walsall west midlands england junction 10 m6 Walsall keep it up hello Glasgow
I'm in skye the now Billy would have love to have met you mate. I was in there 6 weeks ago with some of the main boys. That first boy canni count to 4 he calls it the 3 corners. My uncle owned the nightclub 50m round the corner from where your standing. Lots of good people in glasgow city centre sad but good folk mate
There’s no chance in Scotland the drug epidemic is crazy . It’s like zombie land someone’s either on one thing or the other it’s shite man . Addiction has got hold of me for no reason but my own. Trying to look cool with the troops now I’m 32 majority friends are dead threw violence and drugs. But Glasgow is beautiful and the people are the best people you will meet glad to see you up bill would a been good to meet you . Your helping me with my addictions . Keep on keepin on bill your a good man
The weird thing is you can walk about the place for years and never see anything out of place, but the homeless and poor are still there , always a little bit hidden from our eyes and mostly ignored and left to their fate.
The good people should be getting the honours because they care. The system rewards those who don't and help create this misery. They're called politicians. Keep up the good word Sir Billy of the Moore 😊
it's actually not too bad under that bridge, u always get a laugh. most of the drama is from the young yins that think they're some sorta ticket. it would be scary to live on the streets anywhere bless them. love wee Roxy 😊🐕❤
Having worked as a Glasgow cabbie for 45 years, I think I've got a better than good idea about the city and its problems, and yes, like EVERY major city in the UK, it does have problems. This video, however, is not representative of the Glasgow I know and love. If there's a more friendly city on the planet, I'd love to see it.
