Group stepping in where 'everyone is struggling'

Volunteers like Jane Platt at the Big Venture Centre in Wolverhampton are stepping in to support residents in deprived areas, where many feel forgotten and face challenges like anti-social behavior and lack of activities for children. Despite concerns about safety and neglect, the community center provides discounted items and assistance, offering a safe space for residents. The City of Wolverhampton Council is working to address issues and ensure that no one is left behind, with millions allocated for regeneration grants and initiatives like the Big Venture Centre.
