January 30th is a time to raise awareness of the challenges faced by young carers and campaign for greater support.
A young carer is a person aged between 5 and 25, who provides care and support in some way for someone else. The person they provide care for is often a parent, or a relative who is physically or mentally ill, frail and elderly, disabled or misuses alcohol or substances. Young carers could also be supporting and caring for a brother or sister.
Amongst the young carer’s many daily challenges, is that of finding time for themselves for enjoyment and spending stress-free, quality time with their family and friends.
We would like to help by offering a small respite…To celebrate, Suffolk Owl Sanctuary are offering FREE ENTRY for all accredited young carers and up to four family members on Saturday 1st February and Sunday 2nd February.
No pre-booking is necessary, but please do bring your Young Carers Card with you.
If you have any questions relating to this offer, please give us a call on 03456 807 897 (opt 3) or email catherine@owlbarn.co.uk
