A dad who has been jailed after letting his kids live in a house of squalor boasted of wanting to help young people change their lives. Lee Carnell was in and out of jail by the time he was 17, having grown up in care.
But his life of battling drug addiction on the streets changed when he met his partner, Sarah Lamb. In 2019 he told Hull Live about how he felt inspired to help young people after Lamb encouraged him to sign up for Mixed Martial Arts training.
He said he couldn't stay away from the gym and wanted to help others with a similar story to his. He said: “I want to tell youngsters that it doesn’t matter what’s in front of you. It matters what you can put forward and in place because you’ve got to keep going and moving forward."
