As many of you know, we work with young carers across our local area. Supporting these incredible young people is more than just our job—it’s something we are truly passionate about.

Many of the children and young people we support take on caring responsibilities at a very young age, often putting the needs of others before their own. Through our work, we strive to provide them with opportunities, activities, and support that improve their wellbeing and give them the chance to enjoy being children.

To help raise funds for this important work, we are taking part in a fun run. Any donation, no matter how big or small, will be hugely appreciated and will help us continue providing vital support to the young carers and families we work with.

Being a young carer is not a choice:

*Young carers are likely to miss nine more school days a year and achieve lower grades than their classmates – just four GCSEs at Grades A*-C compared to six for non-carers.

*They are 60% less likely to achieve three A levels or equivalent qualifications.

*Young carers are three times as likely to not be in education, employment or training between 16 and 18.

Caring Together Charity supports young carers through our Young Carer Forums, 1-1 support, and by providing trips and activities aimed at increasing confidence and teaching genuinely useful life skills.

💙 Please donate if you can and cheer us on—every pound makes a difference!

We thank you for your generosity and for helping us make a difference in the lives of local young carers.

Jo, Demi & Abi 💙
