Hotelier Mike Matthews previously told @timesradio how he helped the homeless during lockdown. Today he told Matt Chorley how the community rallied to help.

"Suddenly they've gone from being forgotten individuals in doorways, to minor celebrities in the town."

@PrinceRupert18 @peterlane5news @Christina5News It’s a fantastic thing you’ve all done at the hotel - to think so considerately at a time when you’re business has met one of its hardest challenges is both rare and inspiring.

He's prepared to take a financial hit to house them a bit longer.

"I'd come from living in hell to paradise in my eyes"

When lockdown struck Mike Matthews decided he wouldn't leave homeless people out on the streets, so invited them to stay in his hotel.

Now lockdown is lifting, he says he'll make sure they still get the support they need.
