I am responding to Tony Benn’s very pertinent comments in last nights Any Questions.
I have worked as a full time volunteer in a young persons charity in a deprived area of the north west for the past ten years. This local organisation has attracted eleven national awards for lifting children out of poverty and for enabling at risk and vulnerable young people to achieve their potential through university or through meaningful employment. Our young people were recently presented with the BBC Rotary Young Citizens Award for their voluntary work in Ghana.
As Tony BEnn stated ‘ The rich created the nations debt but it is the poor who are repaying it’ and it has been devasting to watch the impact of this governent alliances decisions to make cuts which directly impact on the lives of young people in the poorest commuities. For example the Building Schools for the Future debacle, reductions in Connexions and youth services, playground provision and free swimming lessons for children. It appears to me that every rung in the ladder to social inclusion is being hacked away by ministers who can pay for their own children to achieve their potential; the recent suggestion that free school milk should be stopped took us straight back to thee early 7os when there was no ‘such thing as society’
Tony Bees wise words were to me a stark reminder of the old Lancashire saying Clogs to Clogs in three generations.
