£0 remaining for moving costs
This young care leaver, who has two pre-school children, has been given the chance to swap houses so that she can move close to her friends and support networks in the town where she grew up. She has been very isolated, as she doesn't have a car, in a rural town where she knows nobody. This move will bring so many benefits and she will find childcare and work opportunities easier. This young lady has worked hard to become debt free and this money is to cover moving costs so she doesn't take a loan and maybe face debt again.
