In Their Own Words 2024: Cost of Living Video

As part of In Their Own Words 2024, Victoria and Mark share the findings from our survey with over 200 care experienced individuals – on the topic of Cost of Living.  They share the key messages from the survey responses and what care experienced people tell us would make a difference at a local and national level:

This was one of five topics chosen as priority areas for action by the Young People’s Benchmarking Forum.

YPBMF are currently collating short reports on the five topics which will be published in National Care Leavers Week, which starts on Monday, 28th October, this year.

Victoria is the YPBMF Steering Group Representative and Mark is a YPBMF Champion.
