After a tough childhood as a Young Carer, young mum Hayley Stevens from Barrow had her son taken away from her as she struggled with the death of her mother.
She joined the Barrow Poverty Truth Commission as its first Community Commissioner with lived experience of poverty, because she wants to ensure others do not have to endure what she has experienced.
She’s been telling her story to Andy Beeforth of Cumbria Community Foundation, one of the Civic Commissioners who volunteered their time to the PTC to help give a voice to people like Hayley.
