The brief
MyBnk set out to press councils, policymakers and other bodies for better money support and teaching for young people leaving care.
The angle
The numbers made the case clearly. Four in five care leavers (80%) would like more support with money, 67% worry about it and 44% are unaware any help exists. Pairing a policy call with a young person's own experience gives producers both a news line and a voice listeners remember.
On air
MyBnk's chief executive was interviewed alongside a young person with experience of care.
The result
Coverage reached 2.8 million across 15 items and 1 hour 40 minutes on air, delivering a 16:1 return on investment. Sky News Radio carried the campaign nationally.

Campaigning charities are most persuasive on radio when the people affected are given room to speak for themselves.
