Helping the homeless Wycombe Homeless Collection has thanked Chandarana family, owners of Tara’s Londis in Downley, Buckinghamshire, for helping to raise muchneeded funds. The charity aims to prevent homelessness before it starts, reduce harm for people who are homeless, help to house homeless and at-risk people in suitable accommodation, and defend the rights of homeless people. The charity said: “Dharmesh and Raaj had three collecting tins in the shop and have just handed them to us very full indeed and have taken some empty tins for filling. It’s this kind of support from our community that brings hope.”
