Birmingham’s busking bobby becomes a UK Point of Light

A Brummie bobby who uses his talent for singing to help the homeless has been recognised with a volunteering award by Prime Minister David Cameron. 

PC Ian Northcott, famous locally for his singing skills, devotes his spare time to encouraging people to donate socks, hats, gloves, sleeping bags and chocolate to brighten up and make the festive season more comfortable for the city’s homeless.
