At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac 10 minutes drive from Manchestercity centre is a house with a white front door. Inside it live five female refugees from Eritrea. The neat, terrace property, they say, has provided them with a lifeline.
Two of the women, Mariam and Helen (not their real names) said before arriving here they had spent short periods homeless and on the streets after the Home Office granted them refugee status.
