A 21-YEAR-OLD from Carlton has an incredible 11 jobs, working nearly 60 hours a week.
David Day, of Violet Road, barely spends a waking hour sat down as he juggles five paid jobs with six voluntary roles.
He splits his spare time between jobs at St Jude's Youth Group at Mapperley Top; St John Ambulance; Mapperley Sports Village, where he coaches badminton and football; Carlton Life Saving and Gedling Play Forum, doing at least 16 hours a week between them.
David also works between 30 and 40 hours in an average week, in his five paid jobs. They include being a lunchtime attendant at Westdale Junior School, a steward at Notts County, work at local afterschool club Roosters, Redhill Community Centre and Primark in Nottingham city centre.
There are almost 4,000 unemployed people between the age of 18 and 24 in Nottingham, and a further 660 in Gedling borough.
David said: "There's a perception that young people won't do anything for nothing, but there are people my age out there who want to help others. It's nice to have money, but I don't care about it. To help people and do something I enjoy means much more.
"I often lose count of how many hours I do. Once you get past 25, you just don't bother counting anymore."
Dave Thomas, volunteer co-ordinator at Gedling Community and Voluntary Services added: "David is an amazing role model for volunteers and young people out there."
