Story
We are currently participating in NCS: a government run organisation. It aims to encourage young people to make friends and challenge themselves, benefiting their communication skills and social well-being. It allows them to build a positive relationship with their local community. Our group are currently on Phase 3 of NCS: social action.
As part of our social action project we intend to focus on young carers in Nottingham. We are aware that these young people aged as young as five can be forced to look after family, and many miss out on a vast amount of their childhood and their education. This horrifies us. As a result, we intend to raise money for the Carers Federation; we want this money to go towards a fun day out for the children or purchasing necessities that they require, speaking to the young people will enable us to make this decision.
In our project we are going to be collectively cycling the distance from Nottingham to Calais on stationary exercise bikes. We will be collecting sponsors from this that will go towards the charity. In addition, we are making bracelets from fabrics and selling them for £1. We are also holding a tombola including items that have been kindly donated.
We are promoting our charitable event on social media using Facebook and Instagram. We are using the hashtag #Caring4Carers as this is the name of our social action project with the slogan #FromCourageComesCaring also being used as a hashtag to raise awareness of the significant cause. Finally, we're in the process of producing this Just Giving page so we can raise funds for our cause. We hope that this will be our main source of income from generous donors. Any donations will be greatly appreciated by young carers in Nottingham.
Thank you in advance for your generosity,
The NCS Wave 3 Group 1 team.

What carers do for children everywhere is brave and amazing, which is why it is necessary that we support them in bringing up children.
