EWG Outing
As part of the emotional well-being group, the Young Carers took a trip out of the Carers Centre for some fresh air and to stretch their legs. This was greatly received with some positive feedback. #EWG #emotional #wellbeing #group #Charity #musketeers #YoungCarers #Young #Carer

PGL Part 2
Day two started bright and early. None of the Young Carers were looking forward to what was coming after breakfast. Regardless of that, time wasn’t going to stand still or skip forward a few hours. After breakfast the Young Carers retreated to the cabin but only for a moment whilst they gathered a dry bag of dry clothing, toiletries, and a towel. The inevitable was about to happen. The instructor for the activity was Emma. She led the Young Carers to the ‘sports barn’ to get

Maggie Smith rang the Association on Tuesday 20th September to ask if Boots Festival Park could do something for Christmas for the Young Carers.

Drayton Manor YC Summer Trip
Yesterday, the Young Carers aged 11+ attended the summer trip to Drayton Manor this year. Before we got on the coach we noticed friendship groups already starting to form meaning that all the young carers had someone to go around the theme park with. We arrived and everyone seemed excited. The weather wasn’t particularly brilliant however this did reflect on the queue times meaning the rides were walk on and the Young Carers managed to get on everything more than once. As we
