Rosabel, a 17-year-old new mother, expressed her gratitude, stating, "I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to get everything for him. I didn't want to depend on other people, I wanted to be able to get stuff for my child." Her emphasis on independence highlights the importance of support in difficult financial situations.
Kate Stock of Wandsworth Council noted, "The first 1,000 days of a child's life are really, really critical and we recognize that some families are really struggling with the cost of living to provide some essentials... to promote early learning and also promote bonding between the parent and the child." This underscores the societal responsibility to support young families.
