A round up of the local - and national - news affecting carers
Carers Trust have a new survey for carers aged up to 25, to talk about the pressure they're under and the challenges they face. The results will be shared on Young Carers Action Day next year, and used to call to for change.
We've partnered again with restaurant chain Nando's for a fantastic free event this November, offering employment advice and information to carers, plus a fabulous free lunch!
A new report from the Nuffield Trust, Falling Short, shows widespread, national failings in promised support for carers.
Carers UK have published a worrying new report into the affect on unpaid carers of the growing cost of living crisis. The financial situations of many carers are rapidly further deteriorating and they call on Government for more to be done.
We have free online training for Surrey's school staff, into identifying and supporting young carers. Training starts this autumn, and runs well into next year.
A big thank you to Woking Lions Jackie Taylor Memorial Fund for their very generous donation to help young carers aged 5 and up in the Woking area.
A team from our long-standing supporters Berkeley Homes have just completed Surrey's 3 Peaks Challenge, raising funds to help us help more young carers.
RIP Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, 1926-2022
Hundreds of our young carers and their families have been able to enjoy our Fun Days at the splendid Hampton Court Place this summer, enjoying the beautiful setting, brilliant activities and the chance to be together as a family, with their cared for.
We're looking for more volunteers for a range of roles, including supporting carers who attend our drop in Hubs for advice and support. Could this be you? The commitment is only a few hours a week and we have locations across Surrey. You'll make a real difference. Hear from recent volunteer Ashu about how she's finding volunteering.
