A Nottingham youth leader says he is going to become "much louder" about the problems facing the area's most vulnerable as his charity feeds hundreds of people this winter. Ben Rosser, 42, is a former Nottinghamshire Police officer who left the force around ten years ago with a desire to do more proactive work around the problems he was witnessing.
To that end, he established The Pythian Club in 2014, a non-profit group based in Nottingham that aims to reduce youth violence and improve community cohesion. It offers a full timetable of weekly sporting sessions, art classes and green activities and this winter, it is once again offering its centre as a space for families to get food and warmth.
This particular service runs for two days a week and Mr Rosser says around 20 families a week are currently using it. This is on top of The Pythian Club's food delivery programme, which delivers around 100 parcels every week.
