The CEO of EveryYouth, a network of 12 youth homelessness charities, has written to Angela Rayner to warn they will lose £1.73million due to employer national insurance increases.

In a letter to deputy prime minister Angela Rayner, EveryYouth CEO Nick Connolly warned of hundreds of possible job losses among youth homelessness charities due to the employer national insurance hike in the latest Budget. Mr Connolly said EveryYouth’s network of youth homelessness charities across the UK is set to lose £1.73m from collective budgets – the equivalent of axing more than 60 frontline workers from the network’s government-funded services.
