A lot of young unemployed people have never had the chance of work.

Work experience can help do that and that's why we want more young people to have that chance. https://t.co/JtPHUrv9ui

Children are dying as a result of living in temporary accommodation.
Our clinics see families placed for years in squalid, unstable housing, unable to meet their kid’s basic health needs. 104 deaths is a travesty. Safe, stable housing must be a priority.

@BarrattRedrow Cheryl Scott from London Community Land Trust added:
“There needs to be a statutory separation away from homelessness and social housing; one which reflects health and housing need.”
Liverpool Citizens has worked with Arriva Merseyside (@arrivanorthwest) to secure 200 weekly bus tickets for children in temporary accommodation this summer term.
This means children in TA won't miss out on education & will remain in their safe & trusted school environment.
