A charity was able to gain additional winter fund grants from the Scottish Government and has now been able to help 70 families in the Falkirk area.

Falkirk Homeless Project (FHP) initially received £5000 of funding but were lucky enough to see that increase by a further £2000.

The charity, which provides assistance and support to people who have been homeless and are now moving into a tenancy, has now been able to help even more people who are struggling to cope with increased energy costs and other bills.
