We had a great open evening event this week, with #YoungCarers and their families taking the opportunity to meet the people behind the scenes who make decisions and provide support for them. Big thanks to Nick from Herefordshire CarerLinks, the Early Help Young Carers team and senior commissioner John Burgess from Herefordshire Council for their support of this event and to all the amazing young people and parents who came along ❤️

It's today! If you're a #YoungCarer or #YoungAdultCarer in Herefordshire then you and your family are invited to pop in to the Aspire Centre this evening to meet the team, have a chat and find out more about the support we can offer.

We are hosting an open evening BONUS CLUB on Tuesday 11th February, at the Aspire Centre, Canal Road, Hereford HR1 2EA, 6-8pm.

Our Young and Young Adult Carers will have all the usual games, activities and the chance to catch up with their friends, plus refreshments to enjoy, while parents/families can pop in too to see what we do, enjoy some food and drink and have a chat with the different professionals who support Young and Young Adult Carers in the county.

We'll have senior commissioner John Burgess, staff from the Early Help Young Carers Team, our partners from Carerlinks and, of course, our very own Ed and Susan. If you want to ask questions, find out what extra support is available or just fancy a game of pool and a biscuit, please come along.

Stay for the full 2 hours, or just drop in and drop out when you like.

We’d love your support for this if you can make it.

We certainly made some noise at our #YoungCarers Club this week, thanks to Bym and his Plastic Band! We had some dedicated drummers who kept the beat all evening, while those of the group who prefer things a little less loud enjoyed a quiet chat in the other room.

Happy Anniversary to Us! A Facebook memory from 20

Happy Anniversary to Us! A Facebook memory from 2023 reminded us that it's exactly a year since Ed and I set up Herefordshire Young and Young Adult Carers as a Community Interest Company. It's not always easy to keep the service running, with just the two of us covering all the bases, or to keep the funding coming in, but it is always incredibly rewarding working with these amazing young people. We love what we do, thank you for supporting us ❤️

It was our #YoungCarers Christmas Party last night, and we'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who donated gifts to the @dunelmuk Delivering Joy campaign. Our youngsters were absolutely thrilled to receive their presents. They give so much to others and it was lovely for them to receive something for themselves ❤️

Huge thanks to @courtyard_arts for giving a lucky group of #YoungCarers and #YoungAdultCarers tickets to their fabulous Panto, Sleeping Beauty. We had a wonderful evening, complete with ice creams in the interval, next to the Carer's tree, decorated by @carersofherefordshire ❤️

Ed and I were at the Kindle Centre bright and early, to give a talk about #YoungCarers and #YoungAdultCarers at this morning's #CarersRightsDay event. We took the opportunity to show off our new banner and coordinating leaflets, all to help raise awareness and encourage carers to get in touch and access support.

We are taking a moment to acknowledge how proud we are of ourselves for achieving so much since setting up our CIC in December last year. Thank you @herefordshire_business_awards for recognising and supporting us! #YoungCarers #YoungAdultCarers #HMBiz
