The tremendous support from you and your organisations as part of our #youthworkchangeslives campaign to ensure the message gets out has been inspirational. Now we need one final push in the run up to Budget 2021.

Below I've summarised some of the key opportunities where you can lend your voice to the campaign in its critical last 10 days. 

Kind regards,

James
