Mark will support the Alliance Leadership Team to drive forward plans to re-shape Glasgow's services to overcome issues which cause homelessness and to mitigate the impact of homelessness in the city.

Mark brings a wealth of knowledge and experience relevant to the position having held various roles across the health and social care sector. People with personal experience of homelessness in Glasgow have an equal role in the work of the Alliance and were an important part of the recruitment process.

Mark said: "I am really excited about the work of the Alliance and the opportunity to shape this new role.

"Glasgow is a proud city and by working together to create a movement for change we can tackle the challenges that homelessness presents and achieve the vision of the Alliance - to end homelessness in Glasgow by 2030."
