If you're coming to Coles by car, why not take advantage of the 2 hours free parking at Sainsbury's Pioneer Square - just follow the signs for Pioneer Square as you drive into Bicester and park in the multi-storey car park above the supermarket.

Very cold character, so I wouldn't have believed my life would turn out like this if you'd have told me 30 years ago." In it, the future King said: "It’s impossible to visit Church on the Street and not be deeply moved by the work the organisation does for those in need. I was in a homeless hostel, and it was the first time in my life that I was not relying on drugs or alcohol. I had these feelings that I didn’t know what to do with. I didn’t know who I was. So l prayed, and I saw a light at the bottom of the bed. It’s worse now. The need is rising, but the resource is less. We’ve got more working poor and pensioner poverty. Children are undernourished and we’re seeing more disabled people sleeping rough. I could go on and on. It would be amazing if he finished his boxing career and came and did this – you never know, he could choose to.”The police got into their vans and off they went," he says. "Church on the Street was alive. We'd found a way to do church when all the others had closed."

Shipments to the USA & Canada: If I want to write something, I have to want to write it, because I’m dyslexic and I have Irlen syndrome (a difficulty with visual perceptual processing) which is why I wear these glasses. Because the book took off, they gave me a deal to write another book. I record it all straight off my head, then put some sense in it, so for this new book I’ll find six or eight of other people’s stories and find a thread that will join it all together.” It's impossible to visit Church on the Street and not be deeply moved by the work the organisation does for those in need. It is an extraordinary place ... ' HRH THE PRINCE OF WALES , from the Foreword About six months later I was in McDonald’s. There was a guy who [I could tell] was an alcoholic. I got him a drink and a burger and started talking to him. I ended up getting him into [NA] meetings and he got clean. He told Lancs Live: "You know you can't get your head round these things until they happen to you. It's crazy really that they want to make the TV show."

We have nurses, doctors and a mental health team here.

Then, I got arrested for a minor offence, and I was sectioned and put into a mental health unit for about four months. There was a nun who used to bring me communion. She’d touch my face and say: “God bless you.” This elderly lady taught me that Jesus did love me.I know he’s never acted before but he has the same mental health traits as me and seems to cope with them in the same way as I do – except I’m not the heavyweight champion of the world.
