Tony left the care of the local authority at just sixteen






From a hostel where he had three meals a day, laundry facilities, money monitoring and emotional support to a bedsit. Prior to the hostel Tony spent two years in a community home which came to an end when they could no longer manage his behaviour.  And for the first time there was nobody telling him what to do what time to go to bed what time to be in it was great. He tells me now looking back on things he was so ill-equipped without the necessary skills to begin to try and live successfully and independently. He had no idea because he was never taught and things quickly began to spiral out of control
