The final link in the Listener Week Chain, a spotlight on Huntington's Disease, coping with the school holidays on a low income, and the award-winning PMS Garden.

Val Barron tells us why school holidays can be stressful for some families on low incomes. She's a development worker for Communities Together Durham and joins Jenni alongside Sara Brysons a policy advisor at Children North East to look at what help's available.
