Asking For It is a series of images, created by photographer Jayne Jackson, representing people from different eras. In each image, the person is photographed as if in a mugshot, with a board which lists their “crime” or the “reason” they were sexually harassed or assaulted. Viewers are then invited to question the motivations of individuals and societies that would consider these “crimes” provocation enough to justify assault. The exhibition highlights the historic and contemporary attitudes to victim-blaming, especially in cases of sexual and gender-based violence.

In 1962, Notts CYP signed a 99year lease for the land where Monty Hind and the car park is located. We have 37years remaining on our lease. The land was originally leased from The Nottingham Co-operative Society, but they sold the land in November 2023. Our lease still legally stands for the remaining 37years, but unfortunately, the new landowner has caused many struggles and challenges and are disputing our lease and we are now having to fight to save our much-loved Centre.

The Centre is used by over 450 young people every week and is seen as a safe and inclusive space for all young people and the local community to attend and have fun.

While many traditions regard God to be incorporeal, some three thousand years ago in the Southwest Asian lands, a group of people worshipped a complex pantheon of deities, led by a father god called El. El had seventy children, who were gods in their own right. One of them was a deity, known as Yahweh. Yahweh had a body, a wife, offspring and colleagues. He fought monsters and mortals. He gorged on food and wine, wrote books, and took walks and naps. But he would become something far larger and far more abstract: the God of the great monotheistic religions.
