They support some of the most vulnerable people in our society
A man who has dedicated a 'lifetime' to helping vulnerable people fears his charity will be 'homeless' as it faces eviction. Joginda Singh 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.
He said all the courses are accredited by an examination board. "We have got people with low skills coming in, and we offer these courses to help them to integrate into the society. We have turned tens of thousands of people into teachers." "We had to teach people how to sit on the toilet", he added. "In the Muslim community, men refuse to stay around women, so we had to tell them that they have to learn how to be 'part of the club' if they want to stay in this country.
The charity previously operated from the Radford Unity Complex, but they were forced to leave due to health and safety concerns. He said his charity has never received public funds, only small public donations. Bakhtawar Sehra, also one of the founders of the charity, added: "To me, it is a very serious matter. We are providing a service that the community so desperately needs. We cannot just leave them."
