A homeless man has been inundated with offers of work after writing a sign saying he wanted a job – not money.
Self-employed roofer Mark Hamblin, from Bridgwater in Somerset, said his work dried up after he had to take time off to look after his sick dad.
Because he is registered self-employed he was not entitled to benefits and ended up living in a van, but he said he had been "overwhelmed" with offers of work after making his appeal.
"It makes me feel that there is hope out there, that there are good people who will help you and give you words of encouragement," Mr Hamblin said.
