Don’t forget to watch @BBCTheOneShow tonight to catch up with our Eloise & her @BBCCiN challenge! We are so proud of her for highlighting young carers & how getting the right support at the right time makes all the difference. @EACarers bbcchildreninneed.co.uk/shows/meet-the…

Did you know there are around two young carers in every classroom? 🧒👧 They’re missing a month of school each year because of putting someone else’s needs before their own. Young carers need support now. Together, we can be there when it matters most. Find out how at carers.org/beingtherematt…

Unfortunately we’ve had some no shows for interviews. We are looking for someone to support our amazing young carers at their weekly respite groups in Cumnock and to highlight young carers to schools in the local area. It’s such a rewarding role! uk.indeed.com/m/viewjob?jk=9…

Passionate about the rights of unpaid carers?🙋🏻‍♀️ @EACarers is looking for someone like you to join their board! 🙋🏽‍♂️ No personal experience of caring necessary. Email your contact details to admin@eastayrshirecarers.org.uk or visit eastayrshirecarers.org.uk for more info!

25 years of EACH @eacarers attending Gala day .

We had a few rounds of dominoes at the Dalmellington Support Group on Tuesday morning. The carers enjoyed it and certainly got competitive with each other!

On Young Carers Action Day 2025, let's amplify the message #GiveMeABreak. Young carers are heroes who deserve support, rest, and time for themselves. It’s time we step up and give them the care they truly need. #YoungCarersActionDay #SupportYoungCarers @EACarers @eahscp

Lovely Christmas lunch at Park Hotel for some of our lovely unpaid carers. Our very small thanks to unpaid carers who do the most amazing things everyday single day. @EACarers @FPirrie

It is #CarersRightsDay today, where we express just how important it is that unpaid carers get the level of support which can support them with their care and their own lives, showing that #CarersCantWait

Can you help us deliver Christmas to young carers in East Ayrshire? Do you do Secret Santas at your work? Why not be a Secret Santa for a young carer instead? Taking part in a workplace Christmas Jumper day on 12th Dec? Wear you winter wooly for our wee folk! Please share!

Our new Young Carers gift appeal has now been launched. Any donations would be well received by the young people we support!

At yesterday’s group we had a discussion about what it means to be healthy, and the young carers drew characters they thought were healthy. We also learned that how someone feels inside is just as important for good health as how they act physically. #WorldMentalHealthDay

Our Young Carer Groups re-start on Monday the 26th August 🙌 We are so exited to see them and catch up on their holiday adventures 🌅 If you are or know any Young Carers contact 01563 559251 to speak to our team 📞

Today our Carers are sparking their creative side by making their own pens 🖊️ safe to say it is proving more difficult than they had originally thought. @eahscp @eastayrsire @FPirrie

We had a fantastic week at @EACarers celebrating #CarersWeek2024 with amazing events! We're committed to supporting carers,including young carers across EA. If you know someone who could use our help, reach out today! 🌟

We are celebrating Carers Week this week at @EACarers, highlighting and celebrating everything our Adult Carers and Young Carers do for their loved ones. #carersweek

Helped out at the first of three @EACarers parties in the Cumnock/Doon Valley area this week to celebrate Carers Week and the efforts made by Young Carers. It was a blast! #carersweek

A thank you to carers ❤️ #CarersWeek 📸 @allontheboard

Posting to show off this cool motorbike which one of our young carers in Dalmellington built using Lego. Really love the level of creativity on show! #youngcarers
