Philippa Atkin is raising money for Sheffield Young Carers

Online yoga · 1 January 2021

Sheffield Young Carers is an independent charity which has existed in Sheffield since 1997. We offer practical and emotional support to children and young people aged between 8 and 25 who live in Sheffield and provide a substantial amount of unpaid care to one or more members of their family.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I'm raising funds for Sheffield Young Carers:

Young carers can often find life tiring, worrying and lonely. Being a carer can affect a young person in many ways – including social isolation, bullying, difficulties with school attendance and achievement, and physical and mental ill health themselves.

We aim to reduce the impacts of their caring by building young carers' confidence and resilience and improving their health and well-being.

We do this through:

  • one-to-one support

  • group support

  • trips

  • holidays

  • support with education, employment, training and transition

  • using a whole family approach to promote positive, long-term changes for everyone at home.


"We believe it’s the right of every young carer to be recognised in their role and have the same opportunities and life chances as other children and young people of a similar age.'

For more information on their work to help support young carers, as well as young people affected by drug and alcohol problems in their family
