Good News- Robert’s Story
Robert and his young child came to our drop-in after fleeing from his partner due to domestic abuse. They had been placed in B&B by the council but needed support whilst they were in temporary accommodation and to find a longer term option.
During their time in the B&B they came to Pathways frequently for provisions such as food, clothing and toiletries as they had fled their house with nothing. Their Pathways Housing Worker helped Robert open a new bank account to be able to get a Universal Credit claim in place as they had no access to any money. Robert and his child were eventually offered a property through the council and needed support to access furniture to be able to move in. Pathways did a referral to Derbyshire Discretionary Fund to get some of these items for them with this and we also provided them with a kitchen starter pack.
They are extremely happy and thriving in their new home. Good Luck Robert!
