Before joining Street Connect, my life was in a difficult place.
I had separated from my wife, was moving in and out of homeless accommodation, and was struggling with addiction to diazepam and heroin.
Then I reconnected with Lee Gow, a Street Connect staff member I had grown up with. He invited me to a recovery group he was leading, which led me to Kairos Church in Stirling. That became a turning point that changed my life.
Through being part of the church, I stopped taking drugs and my family life began to heal. In December 2023, I gave my life to Jesus.
While I was part of the church, Laura Caldwell—who also works with Street Connect—shared in the church WhatsApp group that Street Connect were looking for a new Projects Worker. I felt strongly that God was prompting me to go for it, so I applied.
I started working with Street Connect on 14 May 2025, and I have been so blessed since joining the team.
Being part of Street Connect means a lot to me. Having experienced some of the challenges that many of the people we support are facing, I understand how difficult those situations can be. It is a privilege to now be in a position where I can help and support others on their own journeys.
My story is one of second chances, faith, and the power of people who take the time to care.
Kevin, Project Worker
