“It can be a struggle, I live on my own and it’s the joy of knowing that I’m going to meet someone when I go down to the centre, and knowing that we’ll have a good laugh that keeps me going.”

This will be Clive’s second Christmas at the charity’s training and rehabilitation centre in Brighton, where after Christmas he will stay on and spend time with his new partner, Jean. He met Jean, a fellow beneficiary of the charity, at the centre when they were both staying there.
