Anger over lack of gritting

As one of the UK’s largest homelessness charities, we want to let your readers know about how they can help people who are homeless.

By posting a selfie wearing their favourite hat on social media, tagging #WHD18, and making a donation, your readers can help to change someone’s life.

St Mungo’s Woolly Hat Day takes place on Friday, January 26, where thousands of people will don beanies, baseball caps, berets and more to help us raise awareness and vital funds for our work.

St Mungo’s are encouraging the public to put their heads together to help end homelessness.

Our St Mungo’s vision is that everyone has a place to call home and can fulfil their hopes and ambitions.

We provide a bed and support to more than 2,700 people a night who are either homeless or at risk, and work to prevent homelessness.

As a homeless charity, our clients are at the heart of what we do.

Put your hat on for Woolly Hat Day and you can help homeless people get ahead.

Craigneuk residents blasted the council as the wintry weather turned roads and pavements into a skating rink. Incidents included one woman being taken to hospital after fracturing her foot and one young boy fell outside the old folks’ home on Ochil Street suffering a cut to his head. Craigneuk Community Council secretary Margaret Ann Murray described the pavements as being akin to “Dancing on Ice”.
