EDITORS COMMENTS
Homeless Alfie Bird, a man with an indomitable spirit and a heart full of compassion, stands proudly in this poignant photo print. In his eyes, determination shines through as he prepares to embark on a fund-raising cycle ride to Cornwall. With every pedal stroke, he hopes to raise funds for the upkeep of Norton House - a day centre that has become his sanctuary amidst the harsh realities of homelessness. Alfie's days are spent at Norton House, where he finds solace and support among fellow homeless individuals in Coventry. But instead of succumbing to despair, he chooses to make a difference. Inspired by the kindness shown within those walls, he sets out on this incredible journey. This snapshot captures not only Alfie's unwavering commitment but also his unique bond with dogs - loyal companions who accompany him throughout life's trials. As puppies playfully surround him, their presence symbolizes hope and resilience even in the face of adversity. The year is 1984; it is an era marked by social challenges and economic hardships. Yet here stands Alfie Bird - an embodiment of strength and altruism during such trying times. Let us remember this image as more than just a photograph; let it serve as a reminder that there is power in unity and compassion. Together we can uplift those who have fallen on hard times – one pedal at a time.
