After being put in care at the age of 13, one St Ann’s-born man has opened up about the struggles he has faced - and how Nottingham youth organisation Switch Up has helped him. Tishawn White said he has put "life on the streets" behind him and now has aspirations as Switch Up, where Marcellus Baz BEM is the CEO, continues to give him support.
Tishawn told Nottinghamshire Live about his life up until now. He said: "I grew up in care. I got sent there at the age of about 13 and was sent to Wales where I thought 'what am I doing all the way in Wales?' but I've spent most of my time in Nottingham.
"Before now, I was on the streets getting money. Growing up, it was hard with just my mum looking after me and three kids."
