Today is Young Carers Awareness Day 💙

We recognise and celebrate the incredible strength and compassion shown by young people who help care for family members or loved ones. Being a young carer can sometimes feel overwhelming, but you are not alone.

If you are a young carer and need support, help is available. Please speak to your Crew Leader, Ms Webster or Ms Davies who will be happy to listen and help you access the support you deserve.
