Schools Out....

 Picture of schoolAs some of you know Kat has been working on our schools project, to try and raise awareness of the issues faced by young carers and to make school a more supportive place. The project has been running since August 2014 and it’s been a very busy year of visiting schools, raising awareness and delivering assemblies! We have developed strong partnerships with 14 schools across the borough and have been helping three in particular to work towards their Young Carers in Schools Award. This award recognises schools who are really good at identifying and supporting their young carers.  

Unfortunately the funding for this project has come to an end, but we will continue to work with as many schools as possible! Kat will carry on working with the Young Carers’ Project as a Young Carers’ Support Worker.
