This is the story of Mike, a member of the ever-growing homeless community in the UK. Mike gives us an insight into what being homeless is really like in Manchester, the events that led to him being homeless, drugs, and family. We also discussed his aspirations and what the future looks like for him. We hope you enjoy this and can take something away from it.

Mike is now in housing after Stockport Homes helped push for him to get his own flat. Thanks to the people and community of Gatley, who supported Mike with old clothes, food and money to help him get back on his feet.

There's so much focus on 'work' that people who lose their job cos of mental health etc feel less than human.

So glad Mike got accomodation he's such a sweet guy. I know how he feels I was homeless too & it's so hard sleeping in freezing cold temperatures it's easy to turn to drugs without any positive support in your life or if you have had a hard background. Not everyone understands, but films like this that show the real side of people that are struggling are amazing. I can't thank the people who helped me enough & there are still strangers that I'd like 2 thank personally. I'm sure Mike would be the same. So would thousands more if people opened there eyes. It's a minority who are bad which give people in tragic times a bad name. Anyway really well done to all involved & I'd like to donate to Mike if possible please

Well done son, for highlighting this issue about ordinary people's lives,. The governments tory cons and labour, have badly let down homeless for years and years, hopefully if REFORM UK party gets into government we light see some help for accommodation for homeless, and food cleaning facilities, protection and toiletries too as well as comfort and social services actually providing constructive help counselling too, at least like macari centres

Amazing how this government all of a sudden find accommodation for “ new arrivals “

Ultimately there are more people looking for places than there are places to put them in. At least it's not as bad as the US with cities like LA with Skid Row or the huge camp sites springing up everywhere across that country. We do have a homeless crisis here, but at least we don't see families or elderly citizens on the streets. I'm sure that those who really want it can get what they need from the govt, it's then about keeping what you've been given and not throwing it away because you've been homeless so long that you now struggle to live like the rest of us. There is also those with mental health issues who require ongoing help.
