This week we've had 3 Young Carers move up into the Young Adult Carer stage of their lives. Now they're going to college and/or working they won't be coming to club any more (though they are of course always welcome to visit us and can still access support or come to a YAC group right up to the age of 25.) They all sent the most lovely messages which were so nice to receive. Thank you all so much, you are amazing individuals!
Big thanks to Asda for donating food and drinks for our Christmas clubs! We've had lots of festive fun and we're grateful to everyone who helps make this happen.
Mary and Sarah from the Linus Project came to club last night with some beautiful handmade quilts to give to our Young Carers. Thank you so much for these gorgeous gifts, they loved them!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! We only have one more club at Hereford, Ross and Leominster before the New Year so expect lots of festive fun this week. Here are some pictures of the Young Carer Christmas Tree decorated with their hand painted baubles. Well done everyone who helped with this, fantastic work!
Our Young and Young Adult Carers had a brilliant time when we went to see Cinderella on Friday night. Huge thanks to the Courtyard for generously giving us the tickets, it gave these children and young people a very welcome break from their caring responsibilities and a big dose of fun!
Christmas decorations made from air dry clay and pebble painting were just two of the many activities our #YoungCarers enjoyed at club this week. They also decorated gingerbread cookies which you could theoretically hang on the tree if any of them made it that far!

This week at club saw our Young Carers making air dry clay decorations, painting pebbles and decorating Christmas cookies which could theoretically be hung on the tree, though none of them made it that far!
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’.
