A charity helping Nottingham's 'most vulnerable people' will have to leave its building in just seven days. Joginder Singh, a co-founder of the charity located in Hyson Green, said he was "gutted" to learn Nottingham City Council's decision following a row over the running costs of the building.
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.
Following a discussion between the two parties, the city council had agreed to extend the lease until June on the basis that Mr Singh will pay more than £8,500 per quarter of a year - starting in April and ending in June, at the end of the academic year. This would have allowed students at the charity to finish their courses and pass their exams.
