The Salvation Army play Christmas songs on Buchanan Street
  • last year
The Salvation Army have announced they will play a Christmas concert onboard the MS Ambition which houses close to 1200 Ukrainians who have fled the Russian invasion.

The brass band will bring much needed Christmas cheer to those onboard with the band learning some Ukrainian tunes for the occasion.


Glasgow’s Ukrainian refugee boat MS Ambition is getting closer to full capacity with around 1120 people currently on board.

The Scottish Government has chartered the former cruise ship docked at the Clyde in Govan to offer temporary accommodation for people fleeing the Russian invasion.

They are due to be placed in suitable longer-term accommodation with host families or other housing.

The figures came to light as chief superintendent Mark Sutherland presented the Greater Glasgow police quarterly report covering July to September at a Safe Glasgow Partnership meeting last week.
