Adam's story

Adam had a hard start in life. He grew up in a rough part of East London in the '80s, lacking stability at home and school. After a stay in prison, he struggled to reintegrate back into society, and his relationship broke down. Left with no options, he ended up on the streets. Adam moved into one of our hostels in Northeast London, where he got the support he needed and deserved from our specialist teams. Today, Adam lives in his own home and hopes to work as a counsellor.

So, what can you do to fight back?
