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.
