Framework says some of its roles were put at risk by Nottingham City Council cuts
A Nottingham charity says rough sleeping levels in the city continue to rise "relentlessly" as it welcomes new funding that will stop some of its staff losing their jobs. Nottingham City Council cuts had put jobs in Framework's street outreach team at risk, despite the charity having recorded a 19 percent increase in rough sleepers in the year to December 2023.
Framework's Chief Executive Andrew Redfern said: "Each year the money raised at Beat the Streets plays a vital part in maintaining support for rough sleepers in Nottingham and we continue to be very grateful for this outstandingly generous assistance. In 2023 the funds raised enabled the construction of purpose-built accommodation for rough sleepers we look forward to celebrating the opening of these new flats in a few weeks.
"The level of rough sleeping continues to rise relentlessly. Funds raised at the 2024 festival back in January will help us maintain the outreach team who work with people on the streets of Nottingham every day of the year. Three posts are at risk due to cuts in city council funding and Beat the Streets funding will cover a large part of the cost."
