The Guardian is launching a year-long reporting series, Against The Tide, that will put young people at the forefront. For the past six months, along with documentary photographer Polly Braden, we have been travelling to port towns and seaside resorts around England to discover how younger people feel about the places they live and what changes would enable them to build the futures they want. We will continue our reporting over the next 12 months.
Are you aged between 18-25 and live in a coastal town around England? If so, what’s it like living there? What are the bonuses and also the challenges? How do seasons affect your experience? If you’re a parent or work with young people, please get in touch.
