EPISODE 1
Michael
His Story
Michael sat down with The Cauldron for the first of my Life On The Streets conversations. There’s no organisation speaking for him, no polished script and no attempt to tidy up his story. This is simply Michael, in his own words, talking about life and homelessness.
These are real, raw and powerful conversations.
EPISODE 2
Anita
Her Story

This is simply Anita, in her own words, talking about life and homelessness.
