On Saturday, we welcomed new students at University of Wi******er Freshers 26! We spoke to around 140 people about how caring doesn’t stop when you move away—and our upcoming Young Adult Carer programme 👀. Students also took our quiz and picked up a goody bag, helping spread the word about our support in Wi******er District.

💜🌞🍦End of summer 🍦🌞💜 What a jam-packed summer holiday we've had, and hasn't time flown!

🐐🚜. The final week saw 10 young carers at Walnut Farm, learning about the different animals and having time and space to unwind with them, especially Wallace the Goat

💆🧘‍♂️ 26 young carers checked into WDYC Spa Retreat, enjoying face masks, hair and face paint, crafts, lots of games, and a wonderful yoga session kindly gifted and hosted by Dionne!

A nice, chilled week before the return to, for some, a new chapter - maybe a new school, college, university, or job. We wish everyone a settled start - don't forget to take time for yourself and remember how incredible you all are! 💜

😎🌞Summer 2026🌞😎 For some, a time for relaxing, having fun, and meeting friends.

However, a recent study found that 8 out of 10 young carers feel lonely during the holidays. Sometimes, the caring role's responsibility can increase for the young carer.

That's why we jam-pack the weeks with our activities calendar; watch this space for all the fun we have with the young carers on the project. 🎢🌷🎨
