Moss Side is a diverse neighbourhood, two miles south of Manchester's city centre. Akemia has been a youth worker in Moss Side for nearly twenty years. Demi and Jayvon are in their twenties and austerity kicked in right in the middle of their time spent attending youth centres in Moss Side. Of the five centres that were open in the South Manchester area, only two remain - the Powerhouse and Hideaway - and are struggling to find funding. Following the closures, in 2016, some of their friends were convicted with the murder of Abdul Wuhab Hafidah on a joint enterprise charge. Two years ago, their close friend Sait Mboob was murdered in Moss Side by a group of boys from another area. The same boys they used to attend youth centres with every Friday night before they were shut down. They feel there is a direct link with the youth centres closing and the spike in youth violence in their area.
