The Secretary of State for Education visited Hastings to hear how the town has benefited after being announced as one of 12 Opportunity Areas in the UK.

Damian Hinds was invited to Hastings by MP Amber Rudd, and the pair visited Sussex Coast College to learn about the mental health support services available through the Opportunity Area programme.

Last year, the Department for Education announced that Hastings would become one of 12 Opportunity Areas across the UK and receive a share of £72 million of funding to increase the opportunities available to young people.
