Campaign idea: Eli is training as a chef

Eli slept rough after a family breakdown at 18. Today, he is training as an apprentice chef and planning his own restaurant.

This story

Eli became homeless at 18 following a family breakdown, spending his first night walking from Bradford to Shipley in search of shelter. After moving into supported accommodation with Centrepoint, he secured bursary funding for kitchen clothing, equipment and a laptop. He is now completing a catering and hospitality apprenticeship with ambitions to cook abroad and launch his own restaurant.
