Ashlea's story

My life got flipped upside down earlier this year, and I am just trying to get back on my feet. I moved to France to help a friend set up a business in May, and unfortunately due to various factors we were unable to get the business up and running and I lost both my money and the stability of a home. When I arrived back in the UK, I had nowhere to go and ended up sleeping in a cave until the police and ambulance services found me a week later. I am currently in temporary accommodation supported by the council, but would love to have somewhere to call home again and get back into work.

I spent over 15 years as a professional chef, following in my mother's footsteps. However, the late-night lifestyle associated with cheffing is not for me now. My dad's side of the family all work in construction, and I've done some work in labouring and plastering before so I'd love to get into that again. I've been trying to get work on a construction site, but without my CSCS card, I haven't been successful so far. I am so pleased that Beam can help me get this card so I can get working on-site.

My dream is just to get back working and have a normal life like everyone else. I am so grateful that there are people out there who want to support people in my situation.
