If you want your cash to do more, there are schemes offering decent returns while benefiting the community
Gerry McFarlane lived on the streets of Portsmouth, Glasgow and Edinburgh for years, sleeping rough because his alcohol addiction meant night shelters often wouldn’t accommodate him.
He was typical of a section of the street homeless population sometimes designated as “unsuitable” or too challenging – but help provided by a charity has transformed his fortunes. McFarlane is now living in supported accommodation,enjoys good mental and physical health, is drinking less and finally has a place he knows is his home for life.
