KIRSTY'S STORY

1. What is your background, and how did you come to need social housing?

“I’m originally from Essex, and I’m a mother of five children. I left Essex to escape domestic violence from an ex-partner. It was the hardest decision of my life, but I had to leave to protect myself. My children stayed with my parents in Essex while I sought safety and stability.”

2. Where are you from, and what was life like before living at St George?

“I fled from Essex because it wasn’t safe to stay there. When I arrived in the area, I lived in a hotel at first, but it wasn’t long before I found myself homeless. The housing needs team at the local authority placed me in a hostel, but it didn’t have any cooking facilities. I survived on instant noodles for a month because I had so little money.


After some time, the council moved me to Gorton Street Hostel, where I had my own bedroom and shower and shared a kitchen with another resident. It was a small step forward, but I was still without a permanent home. After three months, the  housing needs team at the Local Authority offered me a place at St George Housing, and I moved in on July 1, 2024.”

3. How has life changed since moving into permanent housing at St George?

“It’s been completely life-changing. I finally have a safe and secure home. Having a place to call my own has given me the chance to heal and rebuild. St George Housing truly saved my life.”

4. What are your hopes and dreams for the future?

“Now that I have a stable home and feel safe, I can finally start putting my life back together. My biggest hope is to reconnect with my children. Having a permanent home gives me the foundation I need to focus on creating a brighter and happier future for all of us.”
