The chief executive of a support centre in Nottingham has spoken about the importance of its winter appeal amid a "crisis" for the charity. Emmanuel House, based on Goose Gate, is £100,000 short in terms of funding as it experiences rising demand.
Emmanuel House supports around 120 homeless people in the city. The charity was founded in 1976 and has more than 30 members of staff.
The charity’s main focus is to tackle homelessness, isolation and vulnerability. Staff said the charity had “definitely noticed the impact of the cost of living”.
