A campaign to help Edinburgh’s homeless rough sleepers stay warm on cold winter nights has raised enough cash to buy more than 50 four-season sleeping bags.
GameChanger – the public social partnership involving Hibernian FC, Hibernian Community Foundation and NHS Lothian – ran the campaign in conjunction with Network Rail as part of Edinburgh Cheer, set up to make the Capital the kindest capital city in Europe at Christmas.
The sleeping bags, provided at cost price by manufacturer Vango, will be distributed by a number of charities who work on the streets.
