Homelessness

Families in Edinburgh with young children affected by homelessness are being helped by a new service following an award of £405,576 by the Big Lottery Fund.

A Dumfries-based homeless support charity has received a grant of almost £5,000 from a Dumfries and Galloway Housing Partnership (DGHP) tenant committee. SHAX, based at the Crichton in Dumfries, received a cheque for £4,750 from the Nithsdale District Management Committee (DMC).
