A massive thank you to The Pixel Fund from MYTIME Young Carers. MYTIME are delighted that the Fund is supporting our Making Memories Programme which provides fun and enriching activity days for young carers of ages 5-18. Each activity day out involves around 40 young carers and includes an activity such as paddleboarding, kayaking, outdoor adventure activities or ice skating. Each day also includes a meal for every young carer.
A young carer is a child, just like any other. The only difference is that young carers are responsbile for the care of at least one member of their family, though they may be as young as 5 years old themselves. These children work incredibly hard to take care of their loved ones, yet they represent a largely forgotten community and often face enormous disadvanatge as a result.
It is our mission to level the playing field for young carers and young adult carers everywhere by providing them with the support, opportunities and friendship that every child needs and deserves.
MYTIME Young Carers run various programmes to support these amazing young people and full details can be found on our website at www.mytimeyoungcarers.org
