Young people from across Northern Ireland have described their experiences of living through the cost of living crisis and the impact it has had on their families.
The Bytes Project has compiled a report which highlights how the cost of living crisis has affected over 1,700 young people with 68% saying they have had to use a food bank in the past year and 61% saying they believe they are financially worse off compared to the start of the summer last year.
In December 2022 the youth charity carried out a survey among the young people that it works with, asking them for their experiences of the cost of living crisis with many saying that they were worried about their and their family's financial situation.
