Make content about: Lorna has a place of her own

Homeless at 16 and sofa surfing for two years, Lorna now has a place of her own and hope for the future.

This story

After leaving home at 16, Lorna dropped out of college and spent two years sofa surfing in precarious and unsafe conditions. She reached out for help and was placed with volunteer host families through Dorset Nightstop for 14 weeks. Lorna has now moved into her own housing association flat, where she is focusing on settling in and managing her physical and mental health.
