Friends of Young Carers Swindon

The Big Give Christmas Challenge is in full swing. So there’s still time to help double our fundraising target. . That’s right—your generosity will have twice the impact, helping us to fund more activities for young carers in 2025. donate.biggive.org/campaign/a0569… #ChristmasChallenge

Looking forward to catching up with all FOYCS trustees over zoom this evening.
