Tommy has credited Irish charity Crosscare with helping him to get to where he is and being a 'family to him' - now as a peer volunteer he is giving back to the organisation
A Dublin man has opened up about how an Irish charity was like 'a family' to him and supported him to move out of homelessness and addiction and turn his life onto a brand new path.
Speaking to RSVP Live, Tommy praised the staff there as he said that their support and interest in their clients was like no other service he had experienced. Tommy also dealt with addiction through his life, and it was during his time with Crosscare that he realised he needed to make a change for good.
Tommy moved into a home last summer and has been off methadone for a year, which is down to the work he put in himself, but he credits Crosscare for creating a safe environment for him to be able to change his life. He said: "They really helped me get to where I am. If it wasn't for them, I don't even want to think about where I'd be now. I'll be eternally grateful to them.
