Congratulations to all our amazing Young Carers who have received their exam results today! 🎉

Whatever your results, we are incredibly proud of each and every one of you. ❤️

We recognise just how stressful it can be to study, revise and work towards exams, especially while also managing caring responsibilities at home.

Your commitment, resilience and hard work deserve to be celebrated. Well done, everyone! 🌟

What an incredible weekend at the Young Carers Festival! 💙

This year, 50 amazing young carers, aged 11–17, attended the annual Young Carers Festival at YMCA Fairthorne Manor. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to take a well-deserved break from their caring responsibilities, have fun, and simply enjoy being young people together.

From exciting activities and outdoor adventures to laughter, teamwork, and making new friends, the weekend was packed with unforgettable memories. It was wonderful to see so many smiles, growing confidence, and friendships that will last long after the festival ended.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the festival such a success. Most importantly, thank you to our incredible young carers—you deserve every moment of fun, friendship, and time to yourselves. We hope you had as much fun as we did, and we can't wait for next year! 💙

A huge thank you to the TVA Youth Led Grant for making this project possible!

It has been fantastic working alongside such inspiring young people. A special thank you to Rae, who did an incredible job creating a video and supporting our partnership with The Family & Community Group.

Together, we worked with a brilliant team of young volunteers to improve resources that helped a large group of young carers attend the Young Carers Festival. Their enthusiasm, creativity, and commitment have been amazing to see.

The group is now looking forward to supporting the All Wales Young Carers Festival in Builth Wells at the end of August. We can't wait to see what they achieve next!
