Are they team “outside” or homebody heroes? Which Nottingham spots are pure gold and which ones need a vibe check? And when the beat drops, how do you stay sharp and safe in a sea of strobe lights?

Expect truths, and a dash of chaos as they navigate the nightlife maze with tips, tales, and unfiltered takes.

Tune in, stay curious, and hit that follow — because the night is young, and so are we.

At the close of last year, we at FYA embarked on a project addressing the delicate issue of homelessness. Recognizing the sensitivity and complexity of this topic, we sought the expertise of Pathway Housing Solutions, an organization deeply engaged in tackling homelessness and the housing crisis.

As we approach the completion of this project, we have invited Henri to share his insights by addressing common misconceptions about homelessness and identifying its various forms.

Hope you guys enjoy the discussion and stay tuned for more!
