So while you guys are ending your working week and a kicking back with some tunes or a drink, mine is just beginning.
The night shelter is toasty warm, clean bedding is on and in 25 minutes I’ll have 17 fellas wanting a brew and some dinner.
Stay safe and be kind 💙

3 years ago my Dad lost his dad and then his two dogs within a short space of time. He’s not been the same since, but heartache does that to you.
My dad is 60 in a couple of weeks. I think my mum just helped him heal a little.

This morning I attended the saddest funeral I have ever been to.
4 mourners in the rain. No family, no friends. Just 4 mourners from professional bodies.
I cried all the way home.
His name was Martin. He was an arsenal fan, he lived and he was cared for. X

I cared. My colleagues cared. We checked in with him very regularly. Supported him. Advocated for him. Never showed him a closed door. We cared for his welfare and wellbeing when he’d lost all desire to look after his own. That’s how he was cared for.

Jan 4th he starts work with the carpenter who did our loft conversion, with the view to doing an apprenticeship with him.

3 weeks of hard work paid off today as one of the more extraordinary cases I’ve been assigned in this job was closed.
