I am 38 years old and I was previously street homeless. After 3 years of living on the street, I was approached by the outreach homeless team who offered be help and a place at the bed for a night. After staying there for 13 weeks I was offered my own tenancy with Housing First and was allocated a support worker as I also needed help with depression and anxiety. But also had plenty of help after moving in. Without all the help of Jan and Kyle as well as others I would definitely be in a very bad place. I am so thankful just for being treated like a human being for once, which means a lot more than people think.

I, myself am very thankful for all the help that I received and know for sure that other people that I know are also thankful. We all know that without their help we would all be still living in our tents.

I would like to say a big thank you to all the homeless and outreach teams for all the help they have give.

The assistance and resources offered by Bury Council's homelessness services have my deepest gratitude. My transition from homelessness to a secure residence has been life-changing, and I credit the committed staff and extensive resources provided for much of this favourable result. I received prompt, considerate assistance from the moment I reached out for it. The outreach team played a crucial role in offering immediate assistance. During those challenging moments, the personnel at Bury Council's understanding and empathy meant a great deal.

The Migration Officer, Emily, did a fantastic job of attending to my requirements and worries. She helped me successfully navigate the system and gave advice on the options that were available. The range of support services provided was extensive and suited to my specific needs, giving me with complete information on all feasible possibilities. Thanks to your assistance, I was able to move to temporary housing in a stable and secure environment. The workers at GCS, the temporary housing facility to whom Bury Council assigned me, were also very helpful and responsive.

My overall experience with Bury homeless services has been quite pleasant. My life has been greatly impacted by the staff's commitment and expertise. My sincere gratitude goes out to Emily and Charley for their outstanding assistance and dedication. They might have just been doing their job, but I am forever grateful they helped change my life and gave me hope.

My support assistant is Ayesha. Ayesha is a competent, empathetic, and professional person. Ever since she first called me, I've felt supported. I always get answers to my questions about work, housing and our life in England on time and in full. I am very grateful to her for that.

Communicating with Ayesha, I get positive emotions and feel not alone in another country. I am waiting and really hoping to get social housing from Bury Council, because my children want to stay in England, study here and get an education. I am alone with my children and cannot rent a house on my own. I have big plans for organizing my work here in England. I have good experience and five higher educations, but I still have very poor knowledge of English and therefore I am working on improving it. I hope to be useful in the future for the city.

In the meantime, I'm doing volunteer work. I am very grateful to the authorities of the city of Bury that I have temporary housing with my children. Thank you for helping.
