I have gained more knowledge with regards to how much poverty can have a detrimental effect on not only an individual but as a whole on communities. I was unaware of services depleting and many people suffering from all the cuts that have been made by the government’s cutbacks, I just never realised that different parts of the city were actually a lot worse than I ever had thought.
