Grace's story
| | Grace was one of ten children and lived in a violent home. Because her life at home was so disjointed, she never did very well at school, leaving with just one GCSE. |
Grace's ambitions for education
Despite this, Grace was determined to better her education. There was just one problem. If she went back into full-time education she’d lose the housing benefit that paid for her place in her hostel – a barrier that many homeless people face.
How Crisis Skylight helped Grace
Grace could not afford to take that risk so she came to Crisis Skylight to study part-time.
Before long she had graduated with certificates in maths and English. With her new-found confidence and qualifications she now plans to continue her path into higher education, giving her range of career options. Now when Grace applies for a job, she has a real chance.
