We provide respite activities for young carers to enhance their emotional and physical wellbeing.
About this cause
We currently support young carers aged 8-18 and their families. Our key aims are; to provide emotional support and respite to young carers, to offer educational and social opportunities that will enhance their personal life skills and wellbeing, and to develop a network of support for young carers and their families.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Young carers have become more isolated as a result of the government directives on shielding during the pandemic. Spending more time at home has increased young carers responsibilities, with many having no contact with their communities. By bringing young carers safely back together for recreational respite, will help them feel valued and a part of their communities once more.
