Rejected petition Allow small funds to be given to children under the age of sixteen by government
Many children across the UK aspire to be great people when they grow up. What better way to begin your career than practice and gain experience when young. Sometimes you can get work experience in an area. Sometimes though this may not possible, so you may have to get some equipment at home.
More details
If the government were to fund young people with small amounts of money then children would be able to afford basic equipment for hobbies such as cooking.
