HBH People | Faces behind the statistics. Voices beyond the numbers.
Major’s Story
When Major first moved into his flat at Help Bristol’s Homeless, he struggled with anxiety, depression and PTSD from his military service. Major had difficulty socialising and didn’t want to engage with our other residents.
With patience and encouragement from the HBH team, Major began to take advantage of the services and resources available to him at HBH, and now his transformation was remarkable.
Major’s journey is an inspiration to us all. Listen to his story to learn how he has turned his life around and how HBH helped him rediscover his joy in life.
Simon’s Story
A brief look into the life of our resident Simon: he’s been with us for 11 months now, following a period of homelessness. His story, like many of our residents’, highlights just how quickly someone can find themselves without a home. It also reflects the impact of support and stability in helping individuals rebuild their lives. We’re proud to have played a part in Simon’s journey toward getting back on his feet.
Louise’s Story
When Louise first joined us at Help Bristol’s Homeless, she had years of uncertainty and was sofa surfing whilst struggling with depression.
Louise was dealing with several challenges and had issues with her Bristol Homechoice application and benefits that were affecting her mental health. However, with help and support from the HBH team, Louise was able to sort out the problems she faced enabling her to focus on changing her future.
Louise’s story is one of self-discovery. Listen to how she has overcome the depression that plagued her and how she became a much-loved member of the HBH community.
