🎨☕ A Short Break for Cam/Glen Juniors! ☕🎨

Our Cam/Glen Juniors enjoyed a well-deserved outing this evening to Café Ceramico in East Kilbride, where they had the chance to relax, get creative, and enjoy a variety of tasty snacks.

Everyone's artistic talents really shone through during the pottery painting session, with some choosing acrylic paints and others opting for glaze. It was fantastic to see everyone having fun together, expressing their creativity, and proudly showing off their wonderful creations. We absolutely love what you made!

As always, a huge thank you to Cafe Ceramico for being so accommodating and welcoming to SLYC. Whether it's for our 1-2-1 sessions or evening groups, they consistently provide a warm and supportive environment. We're incredibly fortunate to have such a fantastic facility right on our doorstep.

Well done to all our young artists—we can't wait to see what you create next! 🎨✨

Next session we are decorating cakes before kicking off our summer programme in July ☀️

The Carers Week flag has been raised at council headquarters and Hamilton Town House is being lit up in blue to recognise unpaid carers across South Lanarkshire. Carers Week runs from today and focuses this year on the way supportive communities can improve the lives of carers.

Huge well done to everyone involved.

🔐✨ 16+ Young Carers Take On Escape Hunt Glasgow! ✨🔐

What a night our 16+ Young Carers had at Escape Hunt Glasgow! 🕵️‍♂️🧩

The group split into two teams and went head-to-head to crack clues, solve puzzles, unlock mysteries, and race against the clock ⏰💥 There was lots of teamwork, laughter, shouting out ideas, and plenty of dramatic “WE’VE GOT IT!” moments 😂🙌

From hidden clues to tricky challenges, everyone worked brilliantly together and showed amazing communication and problem-solving skills 🌟

After all the excitement, we finished the night with a well-earned meal at McDonald’s 🍔🍟

Here are some highlights from a fantastic night full of fun, teamwork, and memories made 💙

Throwback to our amazing Easter residential with our amazing group of Young Carers at Outward Bound! 🏞️💪

From scrambling and abseiling to campfires and team challenges, our young carers pushed themselves, made memories, and had a well-earned break. So proud of every single one of them for their courage and teamwork 💚

Huge thanks to Outward Bound for an unforgettable week. Can’t wait for the next adventure!

🌿✨ Larkhall Young Carers Wellbeing Night ✨🌿

Our Larkhall Young Carers enjoyed a truly relaxing “chill night” with CeCe soul 💫

CeCe guided the group through self-love, relaxation, breath work, and ways to manage emotions as they arise 🧘‍♀️✨

The young carers experienced sound bowl healing and drum vibrational healing 🥁🔮, and each received a lovely meditation kit to take home including tourmaline crystal's to help protect their energy 💎

We finished the evening with herbal tea, smoothies, and fresh fruit 🍓🍵

A calm and well-deserved night for our young carers to unwind 💙

🎢 M&D’s Trip 🎢

Last Wednesday, our Cam/Glen Juniors enjoyed a well-deserved day out at M&D's Scotland's Theme Park during the Easter holidays—an outing they chose themselves!

The young people had a fantastic time trying new rides, revisiting old favourites, conquering fears, sharing laughs, and making unforgettable memories. It truly was a fun-filled day from start to finish.
They also took a break from the excitement to enjoy lunch at Monterey Jack's.

A big well done to everyone who got involved and made the most of the day—even with the very typical Scottish weather 😊

A huge thank you to Lanarkshire Carers for supporting this opportunity through vouchers, as well as Action for Children Enrichment Funding via Nationwide Building Society 🙌🏻

With it being the Easter holidays, our CamGlen seniors had a fantastic day out at the Five Sisters Zoo 🐆

With so many amazing animals to see (and a few shy ones to spot!), everyone had their own favourites!

Add in some burgers, ice cream, and bright weather, and it made for a truly enjoyable day for all 🤩
