For me the best example of this was on the Orchard Park Estate in Hull where Austin Mitchell was placed. I can't remember which episode it was, but he visited the youth club (which eventually was closed) and initially was unimpressed that there seemed to be no purpose to it. There were no organised activities, no training, no supervised 'help', only pool tables and a place to socialise. What he came to realise, was that he was setting the bar way too high and merely having 'somewhere to go' was what the young residents wanted. They explained that there was nothing to do on the estate so without the club they would be on the streets…and that leads to gang life, drugs, violence etc. They didn't need help directing their lives (yet) they simply needed somewhere to go that would take them out of the 'firing line'.
