Make Care Leavers Exempt From Housing Benefit Cuts OR Provide Adequate Housing

Petition Details

Care leavers are seven times more likely to die before they hit 21!! And those who don't are highly likely to go onto offending, substance misuse, violent relationships and poor mental health etc due to the lack of support. Stop setting these young people up to fail!
