- This is the story of Mike, a member of the ever-growing homeless community in the UK. Mike gives us an insight into what being homeless is really like in Manchester, the events that led to him being homeless, drugs, and family. We also discussed his aspirations and what the future looks like for him. We hope you enjoy this and can take something away from it.

Mike is now in housing after Stockport Homes helped push for him to get his own flat. Thanks to the people and community of Gatley, who supported Mike with old clothes, food and money to help him get back on his feet.

I'm 16 years in England, after 14 years I injured at work place, and ended homeless in my car ! 110 days ! Today I'm folklift driver and reach truck driver i have home i have job ! . I'm not doing drug no alcohol no cigarettes, I'm working i paying Bills , bad things happened, but you need back to track good way again, Because if you not working you dies on a street
Love this, met this man about 3 days ago and to see him ready to better himself is a great feeling 👏🏼💯
People want to piss on meh
@@jameslewis6444 bro shut up
A Lot of us are just few balls ups away from being homeless , Its Scary how quickly it can happen !!
He's the happiest Homeless person I have ever seen, really seems like a really nice guy, great video.
Mike is such a bright guy. He deserves this chance and it’s been a long old road for him. Good luck mate 👍
Awesome guy mike 💪 glad to hear his situations improved
Good luck brother and all the best for the future stay safe...
Bless you for careing for homeless people and bless mike
This guys got a good spirit and positive outlook on life . Please bear this in mind spoken from a veteran of the catering trade,
There are so many hotels restaurants etc that are always in need of staffing , a good entry level of kitchen porter, chamber maid etc, with the right attitude you can bag these jobs with no experience just positive I can do and I will do , bag the job with live in accommodation, no experience necessary just I can do I will do and I want more , attitude. Live in ,meals ,experience ,wage ,= good mental health , confidence,way forward , good luck xxx
Adam I agree with you. I hope he gets help literally.
Couldn’t have said it better myself lad, need more people with your mindset or things will never change
What a crackin lad, and I love the uncensored team I look forward to more of your content boys keep up the awesome work and best of luck Mike 👍
Nice one lads for bringing more awareness respect!
So glad Mike got accomodation he's such a sweet guy. I know how he feels I was homeless too & it's so hard sleeping in freezing cold temperatures it's easy to turn to drugs without any positive support in your life or if you have had a hard background. Not everyone understands, but films like this that show the real side of people that are struggling are amazing. I can't thank the people who helped me enough & there are still strangers that I'd like 2 thank personally. I'm sure Mike would be the same. So would thousands more if people opened there eyes. It's a minority who are bad which give people in tragic times a bad name. Anyway really well done to all involved & I'd like to donate to Mike if possible please
Thanks for sharing.. watching from Montevideo..
Watching from Borneo. Stay strong and never give up.
There's so much focus on 'work' that people who lose their job cos of mental health etc feel less than human.
Why is a job more important than the person? Some people can't work.
he will make it!!! he is all good!!!
Keep Strong and safe Mate Best Whishes' to you 👍👍
Well done son, for highlighting this issue about ordinary people's lives,. The governments tory cons and labour, have badly let down homeless for years and years, hopefully if REFORM UK party gets into government we light see some help for accommodation for homeless, and food cleaning facilities, protection and toiletries too as well as comfort and social services actually providing constructive help counselling too, at least like macari centres
There has been homeless people way back in the victorian period and even its still going on today its not right
That is so sad. I hope these people can get help. Also can help themselves, God bless him.
Whether you're homeless or not, if you're begging for money it's obvious you are struggling otherwise why would anyone do it considering how degrading most feel having to do it? It can't be easy having to take abuse from people, both verbal and physical just to be able to eat or even for drugs. People shouldn't judge, I don't care what someone does with them money tbh, if it's for drugs and it helps them forget for a few hours then so be it. I don't know what they're going though or what their life has been like. Many are homeless due to external factors often outside their control, such as coming from an abusive home and their only option was to run away for their safety.
You are incredibly naive if you think beggers are genuinely in need.
@@snowflakemelter1172 It's naive to put them all in the same bracket.
@@snowflakemelter1172 some lost guy, bro if you ain’t got constructive or positive stuff to say shut up lad
Amazing how this government all of a sudden find accommodation for “ new arrivals “
Go on lad let them know
Ultimately there are more people looking for places than there are places to put them in. At least it's not as bad as the US with cities like LA with Skid Row or the huge camp sites springing up everywhere across that country. We do have a homeless crisis here, but at least we don't see families or elderly citizens on the streets. I'm sure that those who really want it can get what they need from the govt, it's then about keeping what you've been given and not throwing it away because you've been homeless so long that you now struggle to live like the rest of us. There is also those with mental health issues who require ongoing help.
Can you, believe some one, stole his coat, while sleeping, how low is that?
If I saw someone treat a homeless person in such a manner they would get more than just a piece of my mind. 😡
Absolutely Sick to death of people who think they are superior because they are not in that situation.!!!!
Another homeless stole it, how naive are you ?
Lower than a rizla stuck to a snakes belly 😠
Is this Mike with the bike?? Why are British homeless people not treated with the same status as ATM refugees ????🤔
In this country, this is such a disgrace!
I agree with you, unfortunately drugs are all over the world. So sad.
Anyone can become homeless due to circumstances such as divorce losing there job a death in the family also due to having a tory goverment that dont care about people
WHILE OTHERS ARE WAITING IN LINE HOURS
TO SEE THE QUEEN WHILE HOMELESSNESS ABOUNDS!!!!! A HAIL THE QUEEN THIS HAS BEEN ON HER WATCH!!!!! 😌
Tell them again brother, shit needs to change asap, this county’s priorities are all out of order
Mike I hope that you find true happiness mate. Such a happy guy but it's ashame you get all this greif as well it really is.
Any update on Mike? Hope you’re doing well buddy
How's this fella doing now, hope he's doing well.
He’s doing well, Managed to finally get a flat sorted, got himself a bank opened with HSBC and is just getting himself fully patterned before he steps back into work.
@@finnraymond8647 nice
I wish all people get their shelter…
I and countless other students get harassed by homeless people literally every day. I'll walk past the Sainsbury's and get harassed, then walk out of the shop and get harassed by the same person. This is right on the university campus! They lead you down alleyways or into a house in moss side to mug you, blabbing on about their sob story all the while right until they've pulled out a knife.
Don't ever be stupid enough to talk to them.
Broski you can’t judge every homeless person based on one bad experience you or anyone else has had, not everyone is like that it ain’t fair to tarnish them all with the same brush because you met a few bad apples
I understand where you’re coming from but it ain’t fair to say they’re all bad because of one or two of them who were bad
By that logic we shouldn’t support or help anyone in poverty or anything because a few of them are bad people
And if you genuinely believe that’s a fair assumption you’re lost
Its way safer to be homeless up in Gatley than being homeless in the city centre..i used to live in Benchill wythenshawe so used to see this guy around a few times
Ye 100% Gatley still abit edgy sometimes at night probably from Wythenshaw and northernden up the road but still better
No way! Mike.. wr had a right good one chat and I bought him some food a couple of years ago. I knew he'd get back on his feet. 👍
The mainstream media does show programmes but they make a living out of the misery of what they show they should be made to pay someway because most of these presenters are on 200,000 a year they need help these poor ones the despicable media like negatives?
Help is on the way Mike, you don't worry now.
I'm watching these videos because I'm going to end up on the streets within a few month. Really not looking forward to it.
Me to, got eviction letter, have a couple of months, no flat's anywhere and I work, very worried. Keep strong.
How are you both?
Starts the film saying “ not all homeless people take drugs “ the almost as soon as Mike starts talking he sayes “ I started smoking weed and things went downhill from there “ so this is really breaking the stereotype 🤦♂️🤣
@@finnraymond8647 he had money for crack he could of used that money for somewhere to live but he chose not to , being homeless was a choice for this man we owe him nothing. Crackheads are not to be trusted or felt sorry for . How would it be possible to say anything positive about him ?
@@paulbackhard6315 what do you know lool wow u haven't got a clue
@@southlondon2051 let him live in your house then
@@paulbackhard6315 what kind of comment is that
@@paulbackhard6315 I do agree with you 100%.
Big up Gatley!
God would make them pay the consequences if its shelter or others how can someone allow this to happen and we get asylum to be roof over head why ia am turkish i was homeless still am paying rent struggling with a business of barbering this country would fall on its knees in the year 2029 😮
Change your name to Mohammed mike you'll get a home or a hotel room asap
Correct
I prefer gupta it's a nice name
Fun fact I'm willing to self circ for a bedsit
God speed
You mean Arabians get help not that English people? That is sad. I hope the government take care of their own people not from other countries that is so f. Up
Gotta try and set some goals, when u r in highschoolDoing drugs, drinking heavily., and not working hard when young , can set u up, for a lifetime of misery.
That little camp he got in the woods its not that good if i was him i would find somewhere else to find like behind buildings or something better. And more dry
Monoueh
Looked like a homeless Rooney in the thumbnail
Any update on Mike? Hope you’re doing well buddy
