 Organisers say the centre provides a vital service |
A centre for homeless people in Nottingham could be facing closure after serious financial difficulties. Emmanuel House on Goosegate helps up to 130 people a day to get food and advice on how to find housing.
The centre needs to raise �54,000 by the end of the financial year in order to remain open.
Staff say it provides a vital lifeline for people living on Nottingham's streets and relieves many of the problems associated with begging.
A recent study said the amount of begging on Nottingham's streets had fallen by 85%.
But the city council has run a tough publicity campaign saying most money given to beggars is spent on drugs.
