Trevor’s Story
When Trevor first joined the Help Bristol’s Homeless community, he was navigating the difficult transition of breaking away from long-standing habits and the various risks that came with his previous environment. The road to change is never easy, but Trevor was determined to find a safer path.
Over the last six months, Trevor’s dedication to his own wellbeing has been nothing short of inspiring. By distancing himself from harm’s way and consistently choosing to overcome the struggles of the past, he has built a foundation of stability and resilience.
We feel incredibly lucky to have Trevor with us and to have been a part of his transformative journey. His story is a powerful reminder of what is possible with commitment and the right support. We are so proud to see him thriving and are excited to see what his future holds.
Simon’s Story
A brief look into the life of our resident Simon. We’re proud to have been able to support him and have found his personal resolve following a period of homelessness to be incredibly encouraging. 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.
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.
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.
