Bob, who trained as a carpenter, is 43 years old and is another of Doorway's regular guests. He was kicked out of home at the age of 17 and travels around a lot, sleeping rough and finding shelter where ever he can; whether it be in a car park or shop entrance.

Bob believes that without the service provided by Doorway, his life would a lot worse.

Bob says:-

"I come in on most Mondays and Thursdays when I am staying in the town, and we all know each other here."

"I don't have anywhere to stay and I dont tend to sleep rough in the town centre since it is dodgy, in the sense that you feel vulnerable."

"If it rains then I just get wet and I do sometimes look for food in skips. If I beg then I might also make a few pounds."

Although Bob has suffered a hard life, he wants to support himself by selling the Big Issue.

"Homelessness is a big problem in Chippenham and it feels like people just don't really care. Doorway helps my situation a great deal"
