About this listen

In Homeless But Not Hopeless, Robert (Bob) Marshall offers an unflinching yet heartwarming account of life on the streets, told through the lens of resilience, humour, and humanity. Far from being a story of unrelenting despair, this audiobook captures the profound and often unexpected moments of connection, kindness, and even laughter that illuminate the darkest of times.

From the frigid metal bench at Northwich bus station that served as his bed to the camaraderie of his makeshift community, Robert shares the trials and triumphs of navigating homelessness. Meet unforgettable characters like Carl, the optimistic gardener; Phil, the self-appointed "luxury connoisseur"; and Maggie, the harmonica-playing dynamo who keeps spirits high. Together, they face the absurdities and indignities of street life with wit and determination, proving that even in hardship, the human spirit can thrive.

This audiobook explores systemic failures and disjointed support systems while celebrating the vital lifelines offered by organisations like the Salvation Army. It sheds light on the invisible lines drawn by society and the humour that turns survival into something more: a testament to the enduring power of friendship and hope.

With proceeds benefiting homeless charities, Homeless But Not Hopeless is not just a story—it’s a call to empathy and action. Whether you’ve experienced homelessness or want to understand it better, this audiobook offers a rare, authentic, and deeply moving perspective on life at its margins.

Prepare to laugh, cry, and discover the unbreakable strength that lies within us all.
