It's Carers Week, and this year's theme is Building Carer-Friendly Communities.
Every young carer deserves a community where they belong. This Carers Week, we're proud to help build one.

This beautiful Christmas Card was created by one of our #YoungCarers, Sophie and picked to go on sale at Hereford Cathedral. We're so proud of you Sophie, this is beautiful! You can buy them this Saturday at the CMYK festival at Hereford College of Arts, December 6th 11am-4:30pm
It's Carers Rights Day today and this year's theme is "Know your rights, use your rights". We ensure Young Carers know what support they are entitled to as well as providing fun activities to give them a break from caring and boost their wellbeing. #CarersRightsDay#YoungCarers
It’s #CarersRightsDay! This year is all about knowing and using carers’ rights, from workplace support to financial help.
It’s also a vital day as we push the government to deliver fairer rights for carers now and in the future.

We received an amazing piece of feedback in a message from a #YoungCarer. This is why the right support for children in a caring role is so important for their wellbeing and development. If anyone would like to donate to us to keep our service going see the link in our profile ❤️
For young carers, housework is more important than schoolwork 😥
To help address the pressures on young carers, we are calling for a Young Carer Lead in every school, college and university.

"Many schools say they have no young carers" ⁉️🫢
Our very own Dominic, Director of Policy and Public Affairs, joined the BBC Breakfast sofa to discuss 🎥
“It can be very stressful sometimes.”
This #CarersWeek, we’re shining a light on the inequalities young carers face - and why breaks are vital.
