Release The Cap Campaign

We asked MSYPs, SYP staff and Carers trust staff one word in which they thought described our young carers. This graphic below shows how amazing young carers are! 📸 #YoungCarerActionDay #NewCoverPhoto

📣 Young people have the right to a say in decisions that affect them, and the new @OfficialSYP manifesto sets out the changes they want to see made. Read their asks to Scotland's decision makers on their new manifesto website, launched today: bit.ly/sypmanifesto

As carers week comes to a close we wanted to take this opportunity to say that we at release the cap hope you have all had an amazing week! 🎉👏🏻

Burnout is something we should all look out for. I have recently experienced it myself and the best thing I have found to help is getting outside and spending some time disconnected.

Today is a landmark day for children and young people in Scotland. As #UNCRCScotland passes through parliament, it’s important to think about what having children’s rights protected in law means to us. This is what it means to me !

With the stage 3 debate of the #UNCRCScotland today we have a real chance to make incorporation not a dream of the future but a reality in the present!

the stage 3 debate of the #UNCRCScotland is today! We have a chance to change the lives of all young people. The UNCRC is our young peoples futures and the future is our young people!

This #YoungCarerActionDay has been a blast! We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved. We will continue to advocate for young carers and young adult carers. @OfficialSYP @SYPBoard @CarersTrustScot

Finally, we hear from @CJayQuigley ! C-Jay takes this chance to explain how proud she is of all young carers in Scotland. This #YoungCarerActionDay lets take the time to appreciate and show how proud we are of every young carer. 💜
