Total needed £200O found himself homeless about six months ago when he lost his ID and long term job, and was unable to find a new job without any ID. He moved into our charity's nightshelter for five months before moving into our mid term accommodation a month ago. Since being homeless, O has loved doing jigsaw puzzles and they have been a great distraction and a relaxing hobby for him. As they have been a happy memory for him, he would like some frames to show the ones he has completed and to keep in his room.
