Willy Slavin has spent his life championing the cause of the poor. Working as a priest for 50 years in the most deprived areas of Glasgow and Bangladesh and in hospitals and prisons, he is also known for his role in the late-2017 installation of the Homeless Jesus sculpture on a park bench in Glasgow. He has given up all his worldly possessions and has moved to a hut in a wood in the Falkland estate in Fife.
