A huge thank you to the Sibley family and Foxhall Masons for raising £400 and donating it to Blackpool Carers Centre YAC project.

It will help fund some much need trips and activities for our young adult carers. 😊

Our latest Take 5 Blue Space Warriors session was both fun & educational. It was great to spend time on the beach! 🏖️💙

We took part in interactive games, created our own mini museums & learned how to care for these environments properly. 🌊

We’re proud to be taking part in #VolunteersWeek – marking 42 years of saying thank you to all volunteers across the UK.

Our vols give so much to our organisation, without them we wouldn’t be able to do what we do.

Thank you to each and every one of you. 🩵

The recent sunshine has meant we’ve been able to spend even more time outdoors during our Take5 respite sessions!🌞
From games & chalk drawing to getting creative with clay, we’ve been making the most of the lovely weather, & loving every minute of it!🤩

Caring affects all of us, but only 55% of carers say they get the support they need. That’s why we’re working to change the way we all think & talk about care to show it’s something that affects us all.

We kicked off our Easter activities with our Blue Space Warriors workshop & it was a great one! Learning all the different ways the ocean helps us, a scavenger hunt & team challenges.

It was a fun mix of learning & being outdoors 😍

Yesterday we celebrated #YoungCarersActionDay!🧑‍🤝‍🧑

This year’s theme, 'Fair Futures for Young Carers' was brought to life through a fantastic Vision Board session delivered by Andrew from @b_and_fc.

The session encouraged our #youngcarers to dream it, shape it & achieve it! 😍

[Blackpool Carers Centre @BlackpoolCarers]

It's Young Carers Action Day!

No young carer should have to shrink their ambitions because of their caring role.

Every young carer deserves a Fair Future - and the chance to reach their full potential.
