'The cost of living crisis is really hurting families'
A Nottingham youth leader says he is going to become "much louder" about the problems facing the area's most vulnerable as his charity feeds hundreds of people this winter. Ben Rosser, 42, is a former Nottinghamshire Police officer who left the force around ten years ago with a desire to do more proactive work around the problems he was witnessing.
Despite the work being done by the club, Ben Rosser says that he is frustrated by the situation that some of Nottinghamshire's most vulnerable communities are finding themselves in this winter. He said: "The cost of living crisis is really hurting families in our communities and we try and do our bit with the centre being open for hot food and warmth and the food parcels we send out.
Recent research from the Centre for Cities showed that the average Nottingham worker is around £100 a month poorer than last year. People in one area of Nottingham have also spoken out about how they are determined not to let their children go cold this winter. Kamali said: "Everything I've done here really adds to my CV, I'm going to university in October and my work at the club will help me there. I'm working on activities around making our sports sessions as inclusive as possible, such as work we're doing now on a tennis initiative, but I've also been doing a lot on engaging with businesses to talk to them about how we can all help each other.
