Nearly half of England’s councils lack youth services in high-deprivation areas, worsening inequality due to funding cuts.
A new study reveals that nearly half of England’s council areas have “youth work black holes”—neighborhoods with high deprivation and antisocial behavior but little to no youth services—particularly in poorer regions like Knowsley and Middlesbrough.
Despite high demand, funding cuts have devastated council youth programs, pushing services to rely on fragmented charities and social enterprises.
In Knowsley, centers like Karma in the Community and The Boyzee face closure without sustained funding, leaving young people without vital support.
Advocates warn that without consistent data and long-term investment, the crisis will persist, deepening inequality in access to youth programs across England.
