Never in her "wildest dreams" could Lynsey Brownless imagine walking down the street sober a few years ago.
But now, she's giving lectures to students at Liverpool John Moores and Hope University, and is about to start a degree in adult nursing herself. It's from inside a shop on County Road in Walton that people like Lynsey are turning their lives around.
The premises are home to AP Coaching and Mentoring Academy CIC, which has helped over 200 people to stay clean from drug and alcohol addiction and go on to build a life for themselves.
