As we look toward the summer now. School has ended here in Northern Ireland and we have been told children on Free School Meals will again receive the financial support over the 8 week period which is brilliant. I have just done a presentation today with some of the team and it was really good to listen to academics talk about car repairs and such, as this is never considered a necessity even though many of us couldn't access work without a car. We need the reality of life talked about and what truly is and isn't a luxury anymore. Society has changed and so does necessities.
