MyBnk is deeply involved in wider efforts to address social economic issues effecting young people – be it financial exclusion, youth unemployment or the care system.
We do this through:
- All Party Parliamentary Groups (APPG) and campaign groups.
- Evidence submissions, responding to reports, contributing to studies and consultations.
- Independent assessments of MyBnk programmes.
