Although I haven’t yet made it to the mysteriously named The
Yellow Door, I’ve heard many a good thing, propelling it to the top of my must
do’s before the end of the semester.
The next night particularly piqued my interest as it’s in
aid of combating homelessness so I decided to have a chat with one the owners of the
night Iain Kerr to find out a bit more.
When asked to describe a typical night in 3 words Iain decided
on: mental, cosmic, bangers. I don’t know about you guys but that’s something I
could get on board with. I’m not entirely sure what a cosmic experience is..
but I am extremely keen to find out.
When discussing the upcoming night Iain shared with me the
fact his dad has worked for Shelter for a number of years. This inspired him to fundraise for the charity as it’s meant he’s seen first-hand the positive impact it's had on so many lives, particularly in the impoverished areas of
Glasgow. As temperatures are about to hit freezing, the conditions those
without refuge will have to suffer is unimaginable. They therefore decided this
was the best time to raise as much money as possible.

Although having no direct say in where the money goes, Iain
told me that last year, all £1,400
of it went to a program to help kids living in poverty in Glasgow. He feels
deeply about this cause telling me these kids live in circumstances it’s hard
for us to imagine and that they face multiple challenges and barriers in all
aspects of life. He reminds me though, that while it seems like making a major difference
is an impossible task, collectively we do have the power to change it!
So get down to Berkeley Suite on Friday night to be part of
the action!!! (and experience some mental, cosmic bangers)
ORRRR
If you can’t make it you can help them smash last years figure by donating directly to the cause via
