Man who became drug addict at 14 'hated' what he saw in the mirror

Ian Miles started using drugs at the age of just 14. Spending many years as an addict "going down a path of crime" he once tried to take his own life because he "hated what I saw in the mirror".

Today, Ian is transformed and now helps others in need. Having once hit rock bottom, he's now a pastor at Prescot Community Church, Merseyside, working to help struggling families.

The church has now opened a community supermarket to provide support to people during the cost of living crisis. Ian said families needed support to simply meet their "basic needs".
