BREAKING: Every 18 year old leaving care in #Wales will be offered £1,600 a month over 2 years under the basic income pilot. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It's believed to be the highest amount offered on a scheme of its kind *ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD*.

“This pilot will demonstrate that a basic income can transform the lives of care leavers as well as citizens across Wales.” ⁦@LowriWalters1⁩

Love this!
Maybe our pilot can take off with a little aviation (gin) ✈️ @VancityReynolds we’re already workshopping the puns 😉

[Jonny Douglas - Designer, Curator, Compere @JonnyDouglas]

Absolutely loving my limited edition @Wrexham_AFC bottle of @AviationGin.

Wonder if I could submit it on expenses as an 'investment' 🤔

I'm thinking @VancityReynolds, @UBILabWrexham & a local, game-changing UBI pilot is a 'everyone could be superhero' match made in...#Wrexham

[YesCymru @YesCymru]

Looking forward to hearing what they conclude from the Universal Basic Income evidence today! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🙌

[The Autonomy Institute @Autonomy_Inst]

🗞️💷 New study: Basic income in Wales

- What would its impact be?
- What would it cost?
- How could it be funded?

The most comprehensive study to date, with new basic income model and interviews with a wide variety of groups.
