Northern Ireland's young people describe worries and experiences during Cost of Living Crisis

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.
