Children as young as 5 years old are caring for up to 50 hours a week. These young carers cook, clean, administer medicine and take on many responsibilities their peers do not, all year round. Christmas is a day of joy, but this doesn’t change for young carers who will be caring all over the festive period. Click below to see how young carers Leah, Jaiden, Soraya, and Tianna give care to their loved ones 24/7.  
 
Honeypot's wrap round services supports these young carers by:  

• Making happy memories on Respite Breaks at a Honeypot Houses, giving them the chance to de-stress and just be happy, carefree children. 
• Buidling resilience, confidence, and social skills on educational booster breaks (SEAL). 
• Continuing friendships and experiencing the first trip to the seaside, riding on a rollercoaster or holding a baby sheep on Memory Making Days. 
• Accessing support for essential life items such as a new washing machine or a bike through Honeypot's Wellbeing Fund and nutritious and tasty meals through our Healthy Eating and Nutrition Service. 
• Pastoral Support for young carers and their family’s when they are struggling to cope with lives challenges. 

Please donate to our Christmas Appeal between 28th November (10am) and 5th December (10am) so that young carers like Leah, Jaiden, Soraya, and Tianna can continue to make happy memories and build brighter futures, by getting the care they vitally need.
