PKAVS Young Carers need your support!

This September, 16 of our wonderful young carers will travel across Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England in order to meet other young carers from around the UK. This trip will give them the opportunity to build friendships, gain confidence and create lasting memories with others who understand their journey.

Any contribution is appreciated - this will help cover transport, accommodation and activity costs for the young people taking part.
