Huge thanks to Oaker Wood Leisure for the Amazon voucher! Our summer selfie, taken on our amazing day out climbing and quad biking at Oaker Wood, won the competition to get the most likes - I always knew our Young Carers were a photogenic lot 😀 We’ll be spending the voucher on new games for club.
Bauble making at club this week. It’s always good to get positive feedback but I especially like it when it’s done as a Christmas decoration.
Big thanks to the Boulder Barn for another great climbing session for our Young Carers today. What a great way to finish half term week!
We'll be having a Young Carers tree at this! Make sure you go to see it, we've been making a lot of baubles at club for it 🙂
Some amazing poetry came out of this week's workshop with the ever-inspirational Toni Cooke, courtesy of Ledbury Poetry Festival. Powerful words from our Young Carers, expressing how they feel about their roles and their club.

I love this video made for Young Carers in Bath and North East Somerset. It shows the support HYCC also offers Young Carers in Herefordshire. If you want to know more about clubs and the support available just drop me a message 🙂
Thanks to Crystal Macangus, Community Champion from Tesco Belmont and her colleagues who kindly donated £300 so that our Young Carers can enjoy an action-packed day out in the summer holidays! We’re so excited and can’t wait to update you on where we go and what we do.
Student Mia Eacock and Mr Henton (Head Teacher) present a cheque to Susan Brace from Hereford Young Carers Club for £2500.A massive THANK YOU to The Bishop of Hereford’s Bluecoat School for their fundraising efforts on behalf of Young Carers. Their donation has enabled our Young Carer clubs to continue and we are extremely grateful for their support.
Bishop’s students, staff and Parents, Friends and Supporters Association have worked hard to raise the money following bag packs, fayres, bake sales, a golf day at Burghill. We commit fundraising for two different local and national charities every year.
Mr Henton said ‘It is a great privilege to support charities which improve the opportunities and quality of life for other people. As a Church School, it shows the commitment of everyone in our community in helping others’.
