What is life like in one of England's most deprived towns?

Life in one of England's most deprived towns, Hastings, is a mix of community strength and challenges. Despite being labeled as the 14th most deprived area, residents like Barry Ashley at the Grumpy Cook cafe work to support those in need with dignity. However, issues like unemployment, low incomes, and poor infrastructure persist, with efforts needed to improve living conditions and opportunities in the town. More community involvement and support are crucial in addressing the impacts of deprivation in areas like Hastings.
