Back in March of last year, at the start of the pandemic, Matthew Waterhouse was a long-term heroin and crack cocaine addict, was begging on the streets of the city centre, suffering severe mental health problems and describes his mere existence as a ‘horror show’.
Having been part of the 'Everyone In' initiative where he was put up at Redwings Hotel, Matt was taken onto the Housing First project working with Raminder Dhir from the Good Shepherd.
The transformation, as he explains in this podcast, has been nothing short of remarkable.
