This story
After leaving home at 16 due to abuse, Paul moved between friends and family before entering supported accommodation in the North East. Over two and a half years, he learned how to manage a home and competed regionally in Olympic weightlifting. He is now preparing to move into his own flat and study paramedic science at university.
