He has helped so many people
An ex-police officer turned youth leader in Nottingham has opened up about what led him to do the work he does. Ben Rosser is the CEO of the Pythian Club, a youth group that supports hundreds of children in Nottingham.
Up until the age of 13, Ben lived in London and went on holiday in Zimbabwe with his mother where she had met someone, who later turned out to be Ben’s stepfather, Teddy. Teddy was living in Zimbabwe because he had been exiled from South Africa because of apartheid. To Ben’s surprise, one day, his whole life changed. He said: “I literally came home one day and the whole house was in boxes and the next day, we went to South Africa, he flew out to Africa and it was a massive change for me. I didn't even have time to tell my friends.”
Ben, who passed all of his exams at school, ended up being befriended by boys who had actually bullied him previously. After seeing him being gifted in football, they had looked at Ben in a different light and to this day, they all still keep in contact with one another.
