"I was on my own most of the time – the best thing you can do is find somewhere to hide away, because I’ve heard of people being set on fire on the street." . "St Mungo’s got me on the road to the hostels. They put me on the ladder, and now I have my own flat." . Read more about William's story in the spring issue of Frontline.

It is Neurodiversity Celebration Week! It's easy to assume that being neurodiverse makes life harder but it's a lot more complex that that. This week is an excellent opportunity to spread awareness and to celebrate the strengths of being neurodiverse. . We were lucky to have one of our colleagues, Lottie Baker, share her experience of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) at work and how it can be a good thing. .

“They supported me. They got me clothes, they got me food and said, ‘You're safe now.’ That’s what St Mungo’s does. They keep people safe.” . When Sophia was evicted from her flat, she found herself sleeping rough at just 22 years old. . “The scariest part was the park at nighttime, it would be absolutely pitch black and I could hear noises.” . Sophia says rough sleeping as a woman is, “100% different. A lot of people offer you money for sexual favours. I’d say no, even though I needed the cash. But some men see a vulnerable woman and use that to their advantage.” . Thanks to supporters like you, Sophia was referred to St Mungo's and received the help she needed to rebuild her life. . Now, she's considering giving back by becoming a support worker herself. .

Imagine it’s 6am, and instead of being tucked up in bed you’re on a chilly pavement, crouching by a sleeping bag, calling to the person inside to wake up to see if you can help them. . This is a day in the life of a St Mungo’s outreach worker. .

After the birth of her son, Tracy found herself struggling with her mental health. Unable to get the support she needed, she fell into an abusive relationship, and soon found herself homeless for 18 years. . "I either slept under the bridge to keep dry or would sneak into electrical cupboards for warmth. The slightest noise and I was up in a flash to see who or what was there." . "If its wet, you're soaked to the bone, you can't stop shaking and sleeping in cold damp clothes makes you ill." . This #InternationalWomensDay help women like Tracy get the support they need to recover from homelessness and rebuild their lives. .

"I’ve been homeless on and off for a while, but five years ago I suffered a brain injury after falling off a wall. Since then I’ve been moved around more than 60 hotels, and I’ve had to fight and fight to get suitable accommodation." . "Luckily, I was referred to St Mungo’s and they’ve really helped me. Unless you’ve got a good social worker, or someone like St Mungo’s around you who can fight for your corner, you’ll be tired and just give up. I can imagine this is how lots of other people who are homeless feel. There’s never a day where it’s stress free." .
