Story

We are raising funds to provide support for Kingston Carers Network’s young carers service and are doing so in memory of Marion Kaczmaryk, who passed away on 23 November. This request is being made by Marion’s husband, John Bangs and her son Simon Bangs.

—————————————————————————————————

Young Carers are children who look after sick or disabled family members. The Covid pandemic has placed huge pressures on many people, but few more so than for young carers. These young people already had so much on their small shoulders. When lockdowns kicked in, help for their families ceased because of infection control procedures, which resulted in significant increases in their responsibilities. School closures increased their social isolation, and they had to cope with home learning on top of all of this.

As a retired social worker and social work practice teacher, we feel that Marion would have been pleased to have known of young carers receiving help in her name.
