I've struggled to get into permanent work after a challenging couple of years. After a breakdown of a relationship, I found myself sleeping in my car and struggling to maintain work. The pressure of the situation impacted my mental health and I started to drink more than usual.
Thankfully, I was supported by the right people and was able to find some temporary accommodation, mental health support and eventually managed to overcome my relationship with alcohol. I now want to continue moving forward and get into work as soon as possible.
I've always worked in the driving sector and want to continue. However, my licenses have now expired and I need to update them. This is not cheap but with Beam's support, I can start to do this. I want to start work again so I begin to save for a house and in a couple of years have my own place. Somewhere I can call home and have my son stay with me.
Due to the agreement of the temporary accommodation I need to pay as soon as I start work. This would be fine in normal circumstances but the rent payments are really high and you're not paid until the end of the first month. I will need some support to help my manage the period until I find a new home.
