Homeless veteran turns life around as Weston College lecturer

Army veteran, Ashley Brown became homeless after his marriage broke down when he left the forces.

A few years later, Mr Brown said a "new relationship" brought him to Weston-super-Mare in North Somerset, where he enrolled on a course at the local college.

Weston College decided to hire him as a lecturer because his "experience in the army and life experiences" made him a valuable mentor.

After turning his life around Ashley is now a permanent member of staff.
