The collapse of retail giant Wilko in September left 12,500 people out of work across the UK.

No area has been harder hit by the redundancies than the Nottinghamshire town of Worksop, where Wilko employed 1,200 people at its head office, shop and distribution centre.

Citizen's Advice has been helping those affected warning that debt in the town was at a record level before the collapse and has doubled since this time last year.

Reporter Jane Deith has been following the lives of several former Wilko staff as they attempt to find new jobs.
