Trips and Activities

Trips and activities are a great way for young carers to get some respite from their caring roles and also meet other young carers and make new friends. The young carers help us decide which activities to plan, and we try to make sure that joining us on the trips really has a positive impact.

Some trips can be challenging – like paddle boarding or climbing, this helps young carers to be resilient. Other trips concentrate on wellbeing – like a day spent with animals at a farm, or a day at the beach.
