He walks us through his journey and remembers Vince, the amazing support worker who never gave up on him.
I started to move around a lot. I thought that if I went to a new town, things would change. I didn’t realise that I was taking myself with me
There were lots of great people that I came into contact with from St Mungo’s, but Vincent Adams stood out – he was a larger than life character. He was my support worker at quite a few hostels. He was also on the outreach team and when I was sleeping rough at Euston he used to come down and see me, take me for breakfast, and just check how I was doing.
I started as an apprentice for St Mungo’s and Vince became my friend. I used to go and stay with his family. They opened their house up to me as a friend. That was just priceless.
