Founder - Streetwise Stu
Stuart Hamnett
The inspiration behind the project and the cause.
I could have been homeless after an extremely difficult and challenging period in my life, which tested me to the limits. I'm now trying to do my bit to help those that aren't as fortunate as I now am.
Trying to be the best version of myself, one step at a time, be better today than I was yesterday and if you can help others whilst also helping yourself then nothing else matters.

I think we are all 4 decisions away from being on the streets. I am fortunate that I have not been in that place but friends and family have. It is important that we support those unfortunate enough to be homeless to encourage them to not become entrenched!!!! We ALL play a part!!!

After seeing Stuart's social media presence we immediatley reconnected after many years of no contact. It came at a time where we had both been through some turmoil in our lives. After a good catch up, I knew I had to get involved and do what I could to help.
An invite to the whatsapp group with Anthony and Aidan and we began to get some movement. It was good to reconnect with Anthony, who again I hadn't seen for years and an introduction to Aidan, started my journey in this project.
Recently diagnosed with ADHD and having had addiction issues has made me realise that those unfortunate enough to not have the support of friends and family as I have, could lead to a life on the streets.
