We’re celebrating Carers Week as working with young carers really important to our organisation. One young carer recently said:
“So it was fantastic to have a break away. I felt I could be young again and just forget for a while about being a carer. I learnt how to sail, steer and also helped with the cooking. It also helped with my confidence so much. It taught me discipline, how to work in a team, and to never give up.”
This week we and our partners have been sharing articles that showcase the important work we do with young carers. Thanks to the all our funders and the National Lottery for supporting this work. Have a look at some of the inspiring stories.
