The Himmah Hub in Hyson Green, north Nottingham, is the sort of place that steps in to help when society looks the other way.
A joint Muslim/Jewish project, Himmah’s Salaam Shalom Kitchen provides free hot meals to those in need every Wednesday. Yet this occasion, eight days before Christmas, is a little different, not least because one of the volunteers is a Premier League footballer with 18 caps for Brazil.
