I want to be prosperous

Children and young people tell us that they find public transport expensive, that they want to have nice homes to live in, and that they want to learn how to manage their money.

Our priorities are for children and young people to:

• Live in decent homes
• Get the right training, education and jobs

Supporting children and young people in achieving economic well-being
