Responding to the Chancellor's 2014 Budget speech earlier today Denise Hatton, Chief Executive, YMCA England says:
"The Chancellor openly states that his budget was one for the 'makers, doers and savers' of the country, but what about those not lucky enough to be in this position?
YMCAs across the country help so many young people who aspire to get work and find a decent home in which to live, but who are consistently held back by a lack of available jobs and affordable housing.
We need to see a stronger commitment from Government to address the needs of single young people if we are going to be in a position to nurture the next generation of 'makers, doers and savers' and secure the long term economic recovery that the Chancellor is looking to achieve."
