Unheard York
A series of stories created in partnership with Church Action on Poverty and York Mix.

‘I had nothing!’
The second story in the series. Anne shares what it’s really like to live in poverty in York.
‘When living on the streets is safer than the ‘prison’ of a house.’
The third story in the series. John and Dave share why, for them, ‘normal’ accommodation simply doesn’t work right now due to their complex circumstances.
‘A dual diagnosis of bipolar and ADHD is really hard.’
The fourth story in the series. Tammy talks of her experience of mental ill health, addiction, getting clean – and the obstacles that got in her way.
