Become a Decision Maker
More stories for people who care about where they live. The third programme from the Grassroots Channel tells the story of Masood Yasin – a young man in Birmingham who decided he had a choice to make: should he leave his own neighbourhood for somewhere ‘better’ or step up and take action.
