Make content about: Andy found a home of his own

Andy spent years caring for others before becoming homeless himself, but found a place to rebuild and a home of his own.

This story

Andy worked as a residential support worker in Blackpool, but after repeated burglaries forced him to give up his tenancy, he found himself without a home. In his sixties and sofa-surfing, he arrived in Bolton with a small bag of belongings and joined the Emmaus community. During his stay he worked in the warehouse, completed new training modules, and has now secured his own flat.

Where you could take it

Help Andy decorate his new flat and talk with him about moving back into independent living in his sixties.
