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!

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.

[UBI Lab RCT @UBILabRCT]

BIG NEWS!

It’s finally happening.

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!

⬇️ The time and stress involved in navigatimg the benefit system is a compelling reason for the trail of a universal basis income.

[Lydia Godden @Lydia_godden]
