Nuno’s story: from homelessness to hope
The winter months are especially tough for people like Nuno, whose life was turned upside-down when the pandemic hit and he lost his job and home. Facing rough sleeping and dependent on drugs and alcohol, everything changed when he was approached by SPEAR’s Outreach team. With support, Nuno not only rebuilt his life but now volunteers to help others on their own path to recovery.
Nuno’s experience highlights just how transformative support – both practical and emotional – can be. His journey from homelessness and addiction to renewed purpose and professional growth is a testament to our vital work in the community.
“Through peer-to-peer support, my lived experience has become my greatest strength. The human approach at SPEAR helped me feel seen - not just as a statistic, but as a person. That foundation was vital for my recovery and growth.”

“Never underestimate how amazing sleep is after being outside. After three or four good night's sleep, being able to shower every day, your thinking starts to change, you're not in survival mode. You start to relax.
“You've not got to carry your life around with you in a rucksack. You can step out and go for a walk around the block. You don't feel like the world is looking at you and judging you.”
