A Dumfries-based crisis charity is celebrating a funding boost.
SHAX, based at the Crichton in Dumfries, has been awarded £41,272 from Nationwide Building Society’s Community Grants programme.
The charity supports people in crisis and those moving on from homelessness. The money will help fund staff costs over the next two years.
Welcoming the funding, manager Joyce Harkness said: “SHAX is delighted to receive a community grant from Nationwide Building Society and we really thank them for their support.
The not-for-profit social enterprise provides essential furniture and household items to people moving from emergency accommodation to a new permanent tenancy.
