Warwickshire Young Carers

We have good news! 🥳 Thanks to #nationallottery players we have been awarded a grant from @TNLComFund to continue developing our Family Support work with #youngcarers and their families. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 We are committed to improving the lives of Young Carers through a whole family approach.

Please could our friends in & around Warwickshire share our Befriender vacancies with their networks. 🙏 We're looking for Befrienders for 2-4 hours a week, paid at Real Living Wage rate across Warwickshire. Help us to connect more #youngcarers with others & their communities!

🌟 Exciting news! We're thrilled to announce our grant from the #InclusiveCommunities Fund—a £9M initiative inspired by the Commonwealth Games. Focused on community impact we're ready to make a lasting difference in Warwickshire! 💙 #youngcarersinwarwickshire #Befriending

Thank you to the lovely children of @margarets_c for listening so wonderfully to our assembly all about Young Carers this morning. You were awesome! ⭐ #WarksYC #youngcarers #youngcarersinwarwickshire #assembly #school #charity

@RishiSunak We have concerns on how this will impact on the attendance of Young Carers. If they can't check in with the person they care for at break, call the pharmacy to see if they can collect meds on the way home or manage their loved one's medical appointments they may just not go.

We know how distracting mobile phones are in the classroom. Today we help schools put an end to this.

Would you like a super rewarding volunteering role? We have fantastic opportunities for volunteers to support our work with Young Carers in all parts of Warwickshire. Please get in touch for an informal chat, or scan the QR code to register your interest. Please share! 🙏

Did you watch? Wondering what you can do to support the hidden army of Young Carers? Donate to help us provide support, give us a call to chat about what your school, college, GP surgery, pharmacy, community service etc can do help identify & support #YoungCarers

Please watch on ITV1 at 8.30pm & then do your bit to make sure #YoungCarers get the vital support they need by donating to your local Young Carers Service. If you're in #Warwickshire that's us! warwickshireyoungcarers.org.uk/donations.aspx #WarksYC #charity #donate #support

Thank you to @WarwickRotaryUK for providing funding for #YoungCarers from Warwick District to play Disc Golf today. Weather was kind to us finally & we had an amazing time! We can't provide any of our respite activities without the amazing support of our donors. Thankyou. 🙏

Trustees are volunteers who play a critical role in helping to support & shape the work of a charity. Here's some of our lovely bunch who joined us for our board meeting this week! Say hello to John, Helen, Harnaik, Peter, Janet & Moira. 🙂 #WarksYC #trustee #trustees #charity

We had a lovely visit to @TreborthBG before returning to @BangorUni for a chat with a current student about life at uni. @prifysgolbangor @ReachingwiderNM #youngcarers #future #aspirations #university #WarksYC

@BangorUni @prifysgolbangor @reachingwiderNW We loved the tour of the beautiful & historic buildings along with our first taster lectures in Creative Media & Psychology. Now for lunch! 😋 #youngcarers #reachingwiderNW #University #taster #future #aspirations

What a fab way for our Young Carers to get a taste of uni life!Thanks to @BangorUni for welcoming us to your Young Carers Residential Taster. Its so important for YCs to see what it might be like to live away from the person they care for & consider their own aspirations. 🎓
