A message to every young person getting their GCSE results today.

[Andover Young Carers @AndoverYC]

Today we are 25 years old - what an achievement!

On this day in 2000 the Andover Young Carers Project started supporting young carers in Andover and the surrounding areas. We later became Andover Young Carers.

Thank you to the wonderful volunteers from Andover Co-op Distribution Centre who tackled a number of jobs that needed doing at our centre, including doing up our summerhouse. A big thanks to Kat Uren, Engagement Coordinator at Andover CDC who organised all of this.

Sometimes siblings find it hard to know what to play with their brother or sister. Ask the children for their ideas. Keep a list of ideas on the fridge and whenever they get bored you can suggest one. Check out our tips here. https://t.co/Zk5PIyQhKo

New rules for schools come into force today from UK Government, aiming to tackle worsening attendance.

The unique challenges facing young carers’ attendance, and how best to support them, is a key topic for our online conference

Anxiety isn't just "in the head". It can show up in our bodies as:

stomach problems
racing heart
fast, shallow breathing
feeling faint or dizzy
teeth grinding
shaking or trembling
sweating more than usual

Living with anxiety can be physically draining.

Share this with someone who is getting their #ALevelResults this week. It's a message from Irum.

"Life can often feel like a race 24/7, but it doesn’t need to be that way. You have all the time in the world left to achieve your goals, but take care of yourself whilst you do it."

The recent anti-immigration riots have deeply affected many communities sense of safety & security.
