SCOTTISH Labour leader Anas Sarwar visited a homeless charity in Glasgow and launched its 'tap to donate' window.
The new appliance is on the side of Homeless Project Scotland's building, under the Hielanman's Umbrella.
It allows people to donate £5 through contactless paying methods, such as a bank card or Apple Pay.
On the first day it was put in place, the window took in £200 of donations.

Chairman of the charity, Colin McInnes, said: "Every £5 that's tapped allows us to provide a hot pot of food to homeless people.
"We hope that it will increase donations and help us continue to do our work."
To mark the installation, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar visited the soup kitchen, along with Glasgow's Lord Provost Philip Braat and MSPs Pam Duncan-Glancy and Paul Sweeney.
What an incredible charity, doing amazing work. It was good to meet the organising team and the over 80 volunteers on the night - many who had come from quite a distance!

It’s heartbreaking that @hp_scotland has to do what it does, but thank goodness it does. https://t.co/SiUvsdcdEV
