Open house for homeless over Christmas at Moffat Manor Country Park.
A Scottish Caravan Park is bringing festive goodwill to the region’s homeless this holiday season by offering them food and shelter.
Moffat Manor Country Park, based in the village of Beattock in Dumfriesshire, are making five of their caravans available for a week to homeless people or locals who have to rely on food parcels.
The accommodation is available from 20 to 27 December with the park also providing meals and entertainment.
Communications assistant Colin MacDonald said: “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
“Essentially, we are aiming to help people out who would perhaps normally go without. We want them to have a memory that will last instead of feeling isolated at this time of year.
“Any help in filling the caravans with people in need would be greatly appreciated.”
This is not the first time that the caravan park have opened their doors to those in need free of charge. Last winter, following the extensive floods in Carlisle, they offered accommodation to flood victims.
And the park also created a monthly free lunch club for seniors in Beattock and Moffat to tackle loneliness.
If you know anyone at risk of being homeless this Christmas, or are at risk yourself, call Colin on 01683 300313 to arrange accommodation.
