"Young people in many of England's coastal towns are disproportionately likely to face poverty, poor housing, lower educational attainment and employment opportunities than their peers in equivalent inland areas."
"In the most deprived coastal towns they can be left to struggle with crumbling and stripped-back public services and transport that limit their life choices."
"Sienna and Jake are unanimous when asked what a tour of the north Wales seaside town should look like, highlighting the stark realities of their environment."
Sienna and Jake, friends in Rhyl, highlight the struggles of their town, including drug issues and dilapidated accommodations. Young people in coastal areas often experience poverty, inadequate housing, and lower educational and employment prospects. The Against the Tide project will document these challenges over the next year, focusing on the lives of youth in coastal communities across England and Wales. The project aims to shed light on the impact of crumbling public services and limited transport options on their life choices.
