INSPIRATION
Who is Brian Phillips? He is Mr Old
Hall Street, he is the ex homeless man who turned his life around and became a much loved member and inspirational of the Liverpool community, dedicating his life to helping the homeless.
“I am 58 years old, I was on drugs for 35 years and lost my job and my house. I got beaten up one night and ended up homeless in town. I fell asleep in a doorway on Old Hall Street and I woke up to a beautiful lady with a breakfast in her hand. I didn't know it at the time but this was the beginning of me changing my life. I was getting lots of money in my doorway but after a few weeks I couldn't do it to these people, I felt I was cheating them as they wanted to help and I wasn’t helping myself. I stopped taking drugs and saw how much less friends I had. The Liverpool Echo did a story on me called me, The Happiest Homeless Man in Liverpool” and people came from all over the city
to see me! I did a radio interview and pictures of me were all over Wales. I was getting so many donations, I shared it with my brothers and sisters on the streets. Anyway, when the winter came, it was so cold I would of probably have died had not Lawrence Kenwright from the Shankly Hotel open Kingsway House, a homeless shelter. I went there and became friends with Lawrence. He bought me some carts and Mr Old Hall Street's Kitchen was born. We help people, my brothers and sisters on the streets. We also help families. Now I am about to make Mr Old Hall Streets Kitchen a registered company. I can’t believe it! I have a team of beautiful people and all we want to do is help my brothers and sisters on the streets. I hope they look at me and think, if he can do it so can I"
