Invisible Cities Glasgow

OUR EXPERIENCES
In Glasgow, we offer two different tours, all delivered by guides who have experienced homelessness:
- Alternative Glasgow that goes from Glasgow Green (one of Europe's oldest green spaces) to the heart of the city, with stories of famous characters, to the consequences of colonisation, urban art, and more!
- Riverside Tour: starting at the city's busiest conference centre (SEC), this tour links two areas of the city and focuses on the marine/dock history of Glasgow
ABOUT US
Invisible Cities offers alternative walking tours that have been designed by guides who have all experienced homelessness. After completing their training based on transferable skills (Public speaking, customer service, etc) they can take you on a tour of their city, to go beyond the postcards and discover stories you never knew about!
OUR IMPACT
Our Impact is threefold:
- Through the training and employment of people who have experienced homelessness in the city. To date, we have trained 130 people; some of them have been employed as guides, but all have been supported to reach positive destinations.
- By breaking down the stigma that exists around homelessness. Through our tours, we showcase that everyone has a story to tell and great skills to share
- Through the events and campaigns we organise for our communities. From free community tours, to self-care packages, we work with a network of other organisations to create local impact. Read our impact report here: https://issuu.com/invisiblecitiestours/docs/annual_report_2023_final_version
