A man leading a charity aimed at helping Nottingham's 'most vulnerable people' has shared his fears over its future. Joginder Singh, a co-founder of the charity located in Hyson Green, said he is now seeking legal advice after being asked to pay 'enormous' bills which he 'can't afford'.
The charity leader and three other co-founders of Karam Yog - known as the Nottingham Teaching College - have paid out of their own pockets for the £5,250 annual rent at the Hyson Green Community Centre in Gregory Boulevard. Mr Singh has previously shared his frustration after being asked to cover the running costs of the whole building - which the City Council said would be estimated at £60,000.
However, following discussions between the two parties, the city council has agreed to extend the lease until June. And the new offer means that Mr Singh will now have to pay more than £8,500 per quarter of a year - starting in April and ending in June, at the end of the academic year.
