I met Biddy a couple of years ago in the Tardis that was Fresh Start's packing centre. There were teams of cheerful people assembling 'starter packs' of duvets, bedding, cutlery and just about every item of household goods known to mankind. All destined to help someone homeless take that first step. I promised myself that one day, I would have a longer chat with Biddy and find out more. It took some doing, pandemics notwithstanding, but the resulting conversation was fascinating.
From her own start in youth work in East Lothian, Biddy has some interesting experiences to relate about ground breaking youth work back in the day. She shares some career advice she's received and also how she came to work for Fresh Start. And, as you would expect, she has some insights to share - "homelessness is a point in time; not a destination" and the role of values in an organisation.
