Charlotte Worsfold, of Billingshurst, now a carer at Bolney Under Fives, initially refused to move into the Y Centre but ‘gave in’ in October 2011 after she was attacked by a man and suffered from anxiety while living in a tent.

She said: “I can say hand on heart I was so wrong to think that the YMCA was a place for people on drugs and of antisocial behaviour.”

A full report will be in tomorrow’s County Times.
