Young Carers
Young Carer's Assembly
Kirsty from the Young Carers Project came to talk to our pupils about what being a young carer means and the additional support which is available for young carers in the area.
The Young Carers' Project work with any young person aged between 5 and 18 years old who support a family member (physically or emotionally) who has a long term illness, physical/learning disability, mental ill health, drug or alcohol dependency or is elderly and frail.
In addition to emotional support, regular monthly activities are held for young carers.
Additional information can be found Activities - Carers Trust Heart of England.
If you believe you are a young carer, speak to Mrs Collins, Miss Rollason or Miss Wilson to find out more information.
Kirsty enjoyed her visit so much she will be coming back into school to join in with our Moat House Young Carers Club !
