Supporting Young Carers (children and young people caring for somone, usually a parent or sibling, with a phyical, mental or sensory impairment) through the provision of services and by raising awareness of their needs.
We have a lot of respect for Ecclesiastical so we were delighted when we found out. I phoned the office and I heard a lot of cheers. It impacts the whole of us as a team. Giving programmes are so important. There is a movement now, the people in Gloucestershire are part of a discussion around the way we work together. It really is about building friends and building that community so its stronger and stronger year on year for people in the community.

What our donation will help fund
Young carers are a vulnerable and often deprived group of young people. This funding is essential for us to add this new dimension to our work with young carers. It helps us to meet our mission of encouraging young carers to achieve their aspirations. Many young carers require a great deal of emotional and health and wellbeing support to cope with their caring role. This funding adds a skills-based offering to our charity's work, enabling a smooth transition between the health and wellbeing support and their move towards building experiences and contacts for future life. It also fits into our consistency of support.
