Breaks and Activities Service

Our breaks and activities service is an opportunity for young carers to take a break from caring and their responsibilities at home. They are able to try new activities, explore aspirations and make friends with other young people who are also young carers.

Young carers will also benefit from gaining a variety of skills, increasing their confidence and feeling supported by staff and other young carers. During our sessions young carers are able to relax and have fun.

Some of our activities in the past have included arts and crafts sessions, Climbing, badminton, games nights, Cake decorating, out of bound activity days and themed quiz nights.

Activities run all year round and we facilitate groups for both primary school and secondary school aged young carers.

Our service does not provide trips to carers under 8 years old, however they can access weekly classes and drop in events.

Primary Group (Year 1 – Year 6) – Tuesdays 4.30pm to 6pm 

Mixed age session – Wednesdays 5.00pm to 6.30pm
