Photograph by Jude Edginton.
21 year-old Dennis from Swindon was bought up in care after suffering terrible abuse at home. After a period of homelessness, he bumped into a girl he had grown up next door to. They got together and now have Max, who is 3. Dennis, who loves his son and loves being a father, feels he now has something to focus on in life, other than his own past. He has also just been given a grant to record an album, which will reflect his difficult upbringing, life on the streets, and his experiences as a teen dad.
