Title: Hostel manager
Peter is the manager of a hostel for homeless people in Ipswich. Lyndon House is run by the Salvation Army and has single rooms for 39 men. The aim is to help them overcome problems such as alcohol, drugs or relationship breakdown and get them into permanent accomodation.

You can watch a film made by one of the men who lives at the hostel here: Video Nation: Hidden Homeless.

This films are part of the BBC's No Home campaign for Autumn 2006 commemorating the BBC's screening of Ken Loach's 'Cathy Come Home' drama in 1966.
