The cost of living is forcing disadvantaged children to study for their summer exams in youth centres, a charity has said.

OnSide said its buildings in some of England’s most deprived spots are being used as "revision banks" because of soaring broadband bills and crowded homes.

The charity's Warrington centre has had its boardroom turned into a revision room, while youth workers at a centre in Oldham have set up a dedicated room for revision to make sure young people have access to computers.

The organisation said the situation "could see young people from low-income families become the hidden casualty of the cost-of-living crisis".
