Revered for his work helping people at their lowest, The Rev Bill Crews does not shy from sharing his own darkest moments - and those that have transformed his remarkable life.

The Reverend Bill Crews is always dressed in black. He wears it at his Bill Crews Foundation on Liverpool Road, Ashfield, where trucks roar past on the minute and the guests - the homeless and other disadvantaged people who come to the Foundation for food, medical and dental care, counselling and comradeship - shout greetings each time they spot him, like he's a rock star.
