Meet Ajoke, one of our former guests. When Ajoke joined us, she had been rescued from sex trafficking. We provided a safe, caring environment in which to sleep and, as our guest, we supported her through her pregnancy and secured legal representation for her, which enabled her to gain leave to remain. She recently moved into her own flat but visits regularly – mother and baby are doing well.

Meet William. William had been on the street and the booze for 50 years before coming to stay at Shelter from the Storm. Last week, after months of being our guest, we supported him to access sheltered housing. Here, he talks about his experience as our guest.
