The largest part of Cheshire Young Carer’s funding to support young people who are caring for somebody comes from donations made by companies, organisations and private donors. Without this support Cheshire Young Carers simply would not be able to provides the critical respite support currently being offered – to work with schools to provide support in identifying, assessing and supporting young carers in Cheshire.

Cheshire Young Carers relies on the support of the local community and local business to help us fund the essential services we provide to support young carers across Cheshire. Therefore, we really value working in partnership with local organisations across Cheshire.

Volunteers are at the heart of what we do – they are the glue that keep our sessions running and our events for young carers possible. The dedicated support they provide us with gives us the chance to make some wonderful things happen for young carers.
VolunteerJoining CYC as a volunteer in May of last year has enabled me to rebuild the confidence I’d felt I had lost in supporting young people. When I started with CYC my confidence had hit rock bottom and I wasn’t sure how I’d get on but working with CYC and the young carers has given me back some of that confidence I’d lost as well as being an absolute joy to support you all with what you do so thank you.Carer
My son attends young carers and I have to say what an absolute amazing charity this is, it gives the young carers some fantastic opportunities which they may never have had experienced without the charity. Hats off to all the staff they are all welcoming and caring towards the young carers and it’s them that make the charity and of course all the lovely kind donations.Parent
We have a fantastic group of Young Carers staying with us this week from around Cheshire. I’ve been lucky to spend a little time today with 10 year old Caitlyn who helps to look after her twin brothers, one of whom has additional needs. Caitlyn talked so positively about taking on this role, it was clear that she’s a caring young girl who loves to help.
Cheshire Young Carers provides fortnightly sessions for these fantastic children, a time for them to play and have fun and to meet other children who are taking on a caring role. Caitlyn told me how much she loves these sessions and how great it is to spend time with other children who are ‘helpful’ too. We’re honoured to offer these amazing children a break away from their caring roles in a supportive, fun and safe environment here at CAFT. These children deserve to be celebrated every day of the week, but especially today – National Siblings Day today. We’re in awe of these caring young children and it’s an honour to spend time with them during their stay.CAFT
