Via an online tool, Chance to be Chancellor puts young people in the shoes of the Chancellor and challenges them to make informed decisions on spending and taxation.

Young people aged 14-18 from across the UK each year participate in Chance to be Chancellor to create their own Budget for the country. Participants are presented with a range of real fiscal policies and they submit their preferred options.

In 2012 1,175 young people took part, the outcome of which became the Youth Budget published on the 14th March 2012.
