Thursday 3rd December 2009 - FGBMFI Christmas Special at The Raggalds with guest speaker Barry Woodward.



Barry was a drug dealer and heroin addict who once lived on the notorious Bull Rings in the centre of Manchester. Barry will share about his life - his descent into the murky underworld of drug dealing, addiction, crime and imprisonment and of his involvement in the Manchester club and music scene during the popular Hacienda days.

With devastating amphetamine induced mental health issues, a fourteen-year heroin addiction, a string of broken relationships, and the threat of HIV looming, the outlook for Barry's life looked bleak. Then three exraordinary encounters changed his life forever...

Find out about the Barry of the Manchester drug scene and the Barry of today - free from drugs and addiction and travelling the world as a motivational speaker...



Barry's story is told in the book "Once An Addict" - a gripping book that is not for the faint hearted! His web site is at www.proclaimtrust.org
