'I was homeless for 15 years after falling pregnant at 18 and becoming addicted to drugs'

Of the 320,000 people now on the streets, nearly 15 per cent are thought to be female.Of the 320,000 people now on the streets, nearly 15 per cent are thought to be femaleSome beat the odds stacked against them to rebuild their lives – as‘I’d sleep on the streets on even the coldest nights and I was beaten up several times’

"When my daughter was two, my parents intervened and took her off me to raise her. Without her, my addiction spiraled and I ended up on the streets. "Frank had been in prison for drug offences but for the two years we’d been homeless together we swore if either of us got off the streets we’d come and ­rescue the other one. I was in the city centre when Frank approached me, having found me through mutual friends.

"I wasn’t scared at first, I had my car to sleep in, but as the weeks went by the reality of my situation set in. "I hadn’t told my dad in Wakefield what had been going on. I told him I’d moved out but he presumed it was into rented accommodation and I didn’t correct him. "I thought I’d be offered a place in a hostel and figure out a plan from there. I went straight to the council, which told me that despite the fact I’d been a care leaver six months before, I wasn’t entitled to a space as I’d left care in Birmingham.
