The centre is run by dedicated play and nursery workers but relies on help from volunteers.

The food bank is open to all on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10-12 noon, no appointment or recommendation is required. The food bank is maintained purely though voluntary donations from organisations and individuals. Glasgow City Mission's food banks are similar to that of Glasgow's Needy.
