It's Club tonight at 6pm and we're going to be playing BINGO! With prizes! If you haven't received your invitation to play yet just ping us a message and we'll send you the link to join.
Our weekly Wednesday Zoom club has been very successful and is a lively and fun time for all ages. After feedback from our survey and talking to our Young Carers we know some of you would like the chance to have a chat in a quieter setting, much like at face to face club when we'd have noisy games in one area and quiet crafts and chatting in a different room. In response to this we've got a new online service to offer our older Young Carers, a quiet, small online group to just chat and catch up with your friends from club. Our first meeting will be next week, on Friday 25th September so message us if you'd like an invite!
Many Young Carers experience stress and anxiety and the coronavirus situation has made this even more likely. Concerns about returning to school or college and worries about those they care for can feel overwhelming at times. We can offer one to one support for Young Carers who need to talk to somebody about how they're feeling.
Wow! Facebook memories says it’s been exactly 8 years since Susan’s first Young Carers Club! She says “I’ve met some amazing people and had so much fun. Thanks to all Young Carers, past and present, for making working with you such a pleasure” 😊
YAC is back! This week our Young Adult Carers met as a socially distanced group with Ed for the first time since lockdown. There was a lot of laughter and chat as they enjoyed catching up with each other’s news and sharing tips for managing their caring roles during these unusual times. YAC meets once a fortnight in Hereford and if you’d like to find out more just get in touch.
Young Carers clubs are still online only at present as the set up for those is different for younger members and much depends on our venues (which are all schools), but we’ll keep you updated.

Have a think about all the things you have at home that make a noise and bring them along to add to the story. It doesn't have to be an instrument, it can be literally any everyday object, the only limit is your imagination!
Good luck to all our Young Carers getting their exam results today! You've already shown how hard working and resourceful you are, balancing a caring role with your education and now with a pandemic and lockdown in the mix too. Your grades will never be able to entirely show how amazing you actually are.
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’.
