Show Notes
Raising children is expensive. It’s estimated that it costs over £200,000 to raise a child from birth to 18 in the UK.
In this podcast we hear from parents about how they're managing these costs from new-born baby necessities to nursery fees.
The experts on the panel are, Anna Stevenson, Senior Welfare Benefits Specialist at the Charity Turn2Us, and Tara Spence, the CEO of Homestart Suffolk, a community network of trained volunteers that helps families with young children.
