The Problem
The onslaught of the UK riots is concluded, and now the work on rebuilding the communities affected has begun.
But one thing that this crisis has highlighted, is that Britain is broken and its people are desperate for a chance to improve themselves.
Opportunities for doing this are few and far between, and seriously hindered by the economic climate.
Young people are facing new and ever-mounting barriers to success since the economic crisis ensued in 2008.
EMA financial support has been cut, apprenticeships are hard to find, university fees have increased and unemployment in the UK is at an all-time high.
The government and a myriad of new community groups are trying to pull together solutions to the lack of opportunities experienced by both adults and young people.

Millions are worried about job cuts, record-high redundancies (over 3 million since 2007), plus businesses closing their doors, and the daily doom & gloom about the British ecomony.
The truth is that less and less people can afford to create enough income to cover all the bills, let alone build any substantial savings or financial security.
Part of The Solution
Many celebrities and entrepreneurs are doing their part to help the country to get back on it's feet, and UK business-woman Marsha Wright is no different.
Wright, a well-known 29 year old serial-entrepreneur and business mentor from London, was horrified by the riots and the loss of life and property.
"It was like some kind of movie, I can't believe this has happened in my England".
She goes on to say "by Tuesday morning (three days into the rioting and looting) I realised that I just had to do something big to help us get back on track; I can't just sit here and not try to make a difference".

Wright, who runs a business consultancy and mentorship organisation, has helped thousands of people to start-up and rescue their businesses. Incidentally, her high-end consultancy clients pay up to £10,000 per day for her business advice.
With this wealth of experience, she reports that "the best thing to do is offer both adults and young people entrepreneurship grants to learn how to start up from scratch or improve their existing business".
Wright came from an extremely difficult background; which included childhood sexual abuse, and living in childrens' homes just yards from where the Ealing disturbances during the riots.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron has stated that the creation of 'new entrepreneurs' is the key to getting the UK economy back to a thriving position.
It's clear that Wright agrees, thus offering close to £1m worth of FREE grants to her entrepreneur-ship course for youths aged 14-23 and adults aged 24-65.
