Lack of opportunity and facilities is a major disadvantage within these areas for not only young people but the wider community. Young people are not given opportunity to have a voice in the development of their areas and are not listened to; their creativity and aspirations are often over-looked.

‘Children and young people are living within households that have addiction problems, mental health and physical health problems as well as having a low income within the household. Through bringing young people together from many different communities we are working towards breaking down territorial barriers that can also be disadvantageous to them.’ - Young People’s Future -xiii
