Help for the homeless, from Jurby prison

by isleofman.com 8th December 2008

Inmates at the prison have been contributing to the Island's new homeless shelter in Douglas.

Kingswood House, operated by the local charity Kemmyrk, officially opened its doors last month to provide overnight accommodation for those in need.

Prisoners have supported the organisation's fundraising efforts by donating art and craftwork items for sale to members of the public.

A total of £110 was raised to go towards the shelter's running costs.
