Tim Crackanthorp helping the homeless during this housing crisis with a collection of winter warmers
May 13, 2021
Tim Crackanthorp has been contacted recently by many people who have become homeless due to the housing crisis and also those who are less fortunate and need our help to stay warm this winter.
With our housing crisis only worsening, Tim said on his facebook page “I’ve had enquiries about what people in the community can do to help.”
For the next few weeks he will be collecting new winter woolies such as socks, beanies, gloves, coats and blankets for Nova for Women and Children: Homelessness and Domestic Violence Service, Jenny’s Place Domestic Violence & Homelessness Service and the Matthew Talbot Homeless Service.

Inquiry into allegations of abuse involving teenage army recruits at Dumfries and Galloway camp collapses One of the largest inquiries into the alleged abuse of teenage Army recruits in Britain has collapsed after the Royal Military Police bungled the investigation into allegations during a battle camp at Kirkcudbright, Dumfries and Galloway, in the summer of 2014. A judge branded the three-year police probe “seriously flawed” as he halted the first of three court martials amid problems of missing evidence and claims that witnesses were forced to make statements.
