'It's heartbreaking leaving women sleeping rough'
Briefly

Dani Brown, an outreach worker for The Nelson Trust in Bridgwater, Somerset, supports homeless women by providing essential supplies and practical help. Each week, Dani and her colleague explore the streets to offer assistance, which significantly impacts the lives of vulnerable women. Sarah, a former heroin user, shares her success story of recovery. After struggling for years with addiction and homelessness, she has been clean for 18 months, is in temporary accommodation, sees her son daily, and is planning to go to college. Other women continue to face challenging circumstances, emphasizing the ongoing need for support.

Now, being clean, everything else just falls into place.
I didn't ever think I'd get that back.
