It was great to talk to @BBCRadioWales last week about the @WelshGovernment care leavers pilot and what it could mean for those who take part in the scheme.
You can listen back here, although, forgive my croaky morning voice it was 6am!

For all you early birds out there, our @Lydia_godden will be on BBC Radio Wales to talk about the imminent #BasicIncome pilot.
@JaneHutt will be giving an update later tomorrow.
Big day.
#UBIWales 🏴
Later today we will be launching our radical basic income pilot.
Simply put – this scheme gives care leavers a guaranteed monthly income to help set them on a path to live healthy, happy and fulfilling lives.
We'll explain in more detail in today’s press conference.
The complex and frustrating nature of the benefits system pushes many away from being able to receive the help they deserve. Not to mention the social stigma attached to claiming benefits and the administration fees of the current UC system!
