Perthshire firms raise £2,800 for homeless charity

Macnabs, a law firm in Perthshire, and Next Home Estate Agents have raised almost £3,000 for Churches Action for the Homeless (CATH). CATH is a local charity that supports, encourages and promotes the development and delivery of projects to relieve homelessness and poor housing in the Perth & Kinross area.

Gillian Ralph, Head of the Property Team at Macnabs, said: ”Throughout the month of February, both Macnabs and Next Home each donated £25 to CATH for every successful property offer we were involved in.

“As a local business we are dedicated to supporting our local communities and helping causes that are close to people’s hearts – it was a busy month for clients purchasing and selling properties and we are delighted to have been able to raise such an incredible amount for a very worthy charity.”

John Greener of Next Home added: “Unfortunately homelessness is a growing issue in our area, and the support of local people and businesses is vital to help organisations like CATH raise much needed funds.”

Brian Cowie, chief executive of CATH commented: “We are overwhelmed by the amount raised by Macnabs and Next Home and the possibilities that this creates for us to support our service users.”
