A man who was previously homeless is raising £250,000 for a 24/7 community hub to take people off the streets and teach them how to cook, clean, pay bills and work.
James Anderson - also known as 'Britain's kindest plumber' - has helped hundreds of strangers struggling amid the cost of living crisis, fixing their boilers for free and offering out vital food packages.
Now he's got big plans to expand DEPHER (Disabled and Elderly Heating Emergency Repairs) and build a centre to transform homelessness in Burnley, Lancashire. James, who was picked up off the street by strangers when he was a teen, knows exactly what it feels like to be 'assaulted, spat at and beat up' - and is determined to give others that life-changing chance in return.
