Young Carers Update - November 2023
SCOTTISH YOUNG CARERS FESTIVAL
The Young Carers Festival is always a highlight in the year, for both the Young Carers and the staff. Over 500 Young Carers come together from all across Scotland and have a chance to relax and take part in loads of activities. The weather was ‘challenging’ this year, but it didn’t stop us from making the most of the time we had.
As well as all the events and activities that happen over the two days, there is also a chance to visit the ‘Consultation Zone’ to share their opinions, suggestions and feedback with the right people.
SUMMER PROGRAMME
We had a great (but very cold) getaway in the October holidays with some of our younger YCs. It was also the first week of work for Esther and Shannon – talk about in at the deep end! We had lots of fun trying loads of new things.
SUMMER PROGRAMME
We managed to squeeze in one last residential before the end of the year. Our younger & rural groups had a wee overnight trip to Honeypot in Dumfries.
