Harry’s story: Everything now is in the right place

Sophie Hornby

Harry, 21, arrived in the UK after leaving Sudan as a refugee. After receiving his refugee status, he was forced to leave his hotel, meaning that he had to rough sleep. He was met and supported by the Rough Sleepers and Complex Case team who got him into emergency accommodation. He's now moved into an independent home and is studying ESOL - with dreams of becoming a web designer in the future.

Mubarak, 21, arrived in the UK in 2021 under humanitarian protection after fleeing Sudan as an unaccompanied minor. After living in care for a few years, he was moved to a Centrepoint semi-independent home when he was at risk of homelessness. He's been working closely with the jobs and education team to help him get the necessary qualifications he needs to achieve his dream of being a barber.
