It's a sunny morning in Birkenhead and John is eating for the first time in several days. He recently came out of hospital after suffering a double heart attack.
John has come to the Sunday morning breakfast club held at Charles Thompson's Mission support centre in the Wirral town. It's the only way he can get a meal, the cupboards of his nearby flat are completely empty and he has no money to his name.
As he gratefully tucks into a bacon and egg breakfast, the 58-year-old said: "I wouldn't have been able to eat without this place. I came out of hospital with no food at all and no money to buy any, I can't put the gas on."
