Brave the Waves in January · 31 January 2024

At MYTIME, we believe that no child’s destiny should be defined by their beginning. That’s why we fight for the rights of young carers to ensure they receive the support, opportunities and friendship that every child needs and deserves.

Story

This January I'll be sea-swimming (or as a bare minimum getting my shoulders under) every day. That's right, 31 consecutive days of cold water immersion to start every day. Why? Read on...

Meet Sadie. Sadie’s mum has multiple sclerosis, and Sadie has been caring for her since she was just 5 years old. Sadie does a lot to help her mum, but it’s not easy. She’s often exhausted, she finds it difficult to keep up with schoolwork and she worries about the future. Most of all, Sadie feels alone, even though there are an estimated 700,000 young carers in the UK today.

MYTIME exists to level the playing field for young carers like Sadie, by providing them with the support, opportunities and friendship that every child needs and deserves.

I'm raising money for MYTIME Young Carers is here to ensure Young Carers are identified, supported, made to feel valued and have access to help and support when they need it.
