Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Children and young people are caring,often as sole carer,  for loved ones and relatives all over our county and the UK.  The responsibilities this brings to young people can radically alter their upbringing compared to that of their peers. Having watched the devestated caused in my own family at age 13 when my older brother became brain damaged and life long dependant and then becoming a young carer myself aged 18yrs when my mother suffered a life changing stroke I found little or no formal support or respite - these young people should be given opportunity to be young, feel young and know that they are supported every step of the way. The care they provide is unpaid and often unrecognised outside of the family unit but no child or young person should have to shoulder such responsibility alone. Thank you for any donation you can give x
