A Swansea bar owner who is running a scheme to help the homeless has gone above and beyond to help get one man back on his feet, allowing him to stay at his studio apartment whilst he finds work, in return for doing some odd jobs around the house.
Lee West, owner of Copr Bar in Castle Street in Swansea, and a former 17-year serving Royal Marine, has earned a great reputation for doing his bit to help those in need. And this time, he has gone one step further to make a difference after meeting a homeless man, named only as Dave.
Dave has been offered council support, but finding a deposit and month's rent up front has proven impossible given his circumstances. Mr West decided to offer his self-contained apartment, located at the back of his house and which is currently vacant, waiving the upfront cost, in return for him completing work in the house. He is now inside with a ‘home’, and has applied for universal credit, but is very proactive and wants to work.
