Organisations supporting children and young people through youth work, early years provision, mental health and support services have put forward representations for Sunak to include in his 2021/22 budget.

The National Children’s Bureau (NCB) is one of 160 organisations which, along with 120 young people, is calling on the Chancellor to “make an urgent investment in mental health, improving education and turning around the crisis facing services for children”.

Using the slogan #GiveUsaChancellor, young people’s views will be presented to parliament as submissions close today (24 September).
