Barry found himself homeless after a relationship breakdown.

Homeless

Listen to the item

Despite being a successful market trader, Barry Eaton found himself penniless and on the streets.

His homelessness was due to the breakdown of a relationship. Unlike many of the homeless people Barry met at this time, he had neither drink nor drug problems and furthermore, he was considerably older than most of them.

Information on organisations which give help and advice on homelessness is available from the BBC Actionline on 0800 044 044
