Sophia V

Universal credit have ask me to upload a CV.

I have worked in retail for many years and as well as doing short courses and raising a young family.

I feel being on a a low income and raising 2 children under the age of 10 gives me little time and finances to better my further education prospects.

There is very little support for mothers over the age of 35 onwards to go to college or even university part time.

This is so frustrating.
