Our Homelessness Support Stories
Colin’s Willow Structure
I am a keen gardener and I regularly participate in garden activities with my allocated worker to ensure the outdoor space of the accommodation is attractive and a place I can relax in.
Scott’s Story
From a teenager my life, very quickly became unmanageable and remained so for around 20 years, resulting in homelessness and a prison sentence. For the last 16 months I have been in recovery, carving a new clean and sober path for my future.
Our Staff Stories
My time with MTAP
When I applied for the role at withYOU, I had no prior social care experience. Never did I think I would progress from the role of Caretaker to Senior Support Worker.
Kaleigh’s Story
When I was younger, I was interested in a career in law because I was passionate about our justice system and had a keen interest to learn more.
