Ibstock's Young Carers Project runs every Monday evening 6pm-8pm during Term Time, at Ibstock Youth Club.
It is a friendly group that offers many opportunities inc:
Time to relax.
The chance to learn new skills.
Make new friends who like you, understand what is involved in being a Carer.
Plan & take part in Trips & Residentials.
Gain Accreditations & ASDAN Awards.
We also when possible, meet up with other groups of Young Carers.
Through another Carers group succesfully obtaining a grant from a YOF bid, we will hopefully be getting together again soon to arrange a Residential to London.
This is what some of our Young Carers think:
'Made new friends that understand what I am going through'
'Fun! The Best!'
'I get time away from it all'
'I don't get a great amount of social time, so this group really helps'
