What the petition asks
We would like the government to increase funding for children’s homes to ensure that the young people have the support they need to pay for things such as their food shopping, clothes, toiletries, phone bill, and anything else they need.
Many young people in care only receive a small amount of subsistence. We believe the current arrangements makes it hard for many young people to afford many essentials such as basic clothes etc. We believe the current arrangements makes it hard for many young people to afford many essentials such as basic clothes etc.
