I think each day I’m become braver and
more willing to give voice to my uncertainty about meeting new people. This is probably
because of the beautiful responses I have been granted as I walk around town
asking complete strangers if I can take their photographs.
Today my curiosity drew me into a newly
opened building where some men were evidently deep in discussion. I briefly interrupted them and then, after talking with Nick, I learnt more about the new Hope Enterprise building called,
appropriately, Oasis House.
I had wandered into the workshop where
the staff passes on the skills to people to repair, service and eventually sell
refurbished garden tools. Nick explained how this social enterprise rebuilds
both a stock of great tools and people’s self-esteem.
It really is a helping hand for
Northampton’s homeless.
