Peter's Story

Peter had a good career working in horticulture as well as a happy family life, however a tragic set of events had a major impact on his wellbeing. The loss of three family members in a short space of time seriously affected Peter as well as his marriage. The breakdown ultimately led to Peter leaving the family home as he struggled to cope. With nowhere else to turn, Peter was forced to sleep rough and ended up living in a tent in a local woodland, isolated and marginalised from the rest of society. Finding himself in a desperate situation, Peter eventually sought help from local authorities.

Peter was put in touch with Alabaré and we were able to provide him with accommodation at one of our specialist projects for people affected by homelessness. He is now settled, engaging with staff and gets along well with his fellow residents, providing advice and guidance to his peers. Whilst incredibly thankful for the support he has received, Peter is looking forward to a more positive future.

“The staff have been brilliant here, helping me with everything you could ever want. I love living here but I am focussed on going forward.”
