This essential service ensures that children who are providing care to loved ones are able to access time away from their caring roles; time to be children, make friends, relax and have new experiences through activity days and residentials.

Being a carer is no easy task, whatever your age, but being a young person with limited scope for socialising, developing a sense of self outside of caring and dealing with the many crisis situations that caring can bring can present significant problems in childhood without the right support in place.

Funding from the Julia and Hans Rausing Trust ensures that our doors remain open for children and young people who need us the most.
