Hello

I am running the Bath Half this year, 2019, for Friends of Young Carers.

A Young Carer is a young person who cares, unpaid, for a family member who has any type of illness, disability or addiction, and cannot manage without that Young Carers support.

As a Young Carer from the age of 8-18, I understand first hand how valuable the support from a charity like Friends of Young Carers truly is. Young Carers supported me emotionally, financially and allowed me to meet other Young Carers, so I no longer felt isolated and alone. I owe a huge portion of where I am today to the support of Young Carers.

Your donation could help fund:

- Young Carers festivals, where Young Carers could engage with one another in a fun environment. Which is particularly valuable when some children only get a break from their caring responsibilities when at school/college

- Materials for Art Projects

- Counselling 

- Outings, such as Theatre Trips and Lazer Quest

And a multitude of other things, which may seem minor to some, but could mean the world to a Young Carer.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!
