Last August some amazing young carers from @BLGCofficial supported Critical Care at @boltonnhsft by walking 100k steps each, and also produced artwork and a plaque for the team.
Today they were finally delivered to our grateful colleagues in Critical Care by @OurBolton_NHS💙
Great day yesterday @Carers fest with some @BLGCofficial#youngcarers who had a fantastic time, lots of fun & laughs. And of course a tour around @ManUtd grounds…left some with biggest smiles I have ever seen. Thanks guys…you’ve helped created memories for life. #CarersWeek
Thanks to all those who attended last night to hear our members findings from their engagement with 643 children, young people & parents in #Bolton about the health services they receive. Watch our video and read the report here: https://t.co/KE30Y3mhHb #Listen#TakeAction
What an event ! @BoltonTogether hosted a system wide event to share the feedback & recommendations from their engagement work with children, young people & parents on health services. Refreshing & insightful, it’s not rocket science & some quick wins, let’s be brave & bold 🙌

@BLGCofficial We’ve had the pleasure of meeting two of your Young Carers at BLGC. To care for loved ones and yet still find the love, energy and time to fundraise for others is truly remarkable. Please pass on our best wishes to them this #CarersWeek2022 💙

It’s the start of #CarersWeek and we are celebrating #youngcarers and all they do caring for loved ones. Today we have been @official_BSCA supporting a group of young carers. Tomorrow a celebration with our young carers groups & Saturday we are off to #carersfest@BLGCofficial
Re-upping this thread - prompted by discovering the children's care review was to be 'cost-neutral', or if not, to say where any 'new' money would be found (ie cut) from & how it'd deliver cost savings

A must watch. @BLGCofficial we work with young people living & often caring for parent/s with poor mental health. Ensuring young people have someone to talk too, time for themselves & don’t feel alone is vital for their well-being. #MentalHealthAwareness#loneliness#youthwork
