Young Carers Club Creates Slime and Friendships at Bwlch
At the Carmarthenshire Crossroads Young Carers Service, we are always delighted to share the wonderful activities and events our young carers participate in. Recently, a small group of our young carers attended the Young Carers Club at Bwlch, and the evening was filled with creativity and laughter.
Joined by the Reaching Wider Team, our young carers engaged in a fun and interactive slime-making activity. These activities are always a hit, providing a much-needed break and a chance for the young carers to relax and enjoy themselves. It was heart-warming to see everyone having so much fun, staff included.
More importantly, these sessions are a valuable opportunity for young carers from around Carmarthenshire to form strong friendships and support networks. These bonds are essential for their well-being, offering emotional support and a sense of community among peers who understand their unique challenges.
After the club, we received a lovely message from a parent that truly warmed our hearts:
“[young person] loved club tonight. Thank you.”
We are incredibly proud of our young carers and grateful for the support from the Reaching Wider Team and the broader community. Together, we can continue to make a positive impact on the lives of these remarkable young people.
The Carmarthenshire Crossroads Young Carers Service is dedicated to providing young carers with the support they need. Young carers often take on significant responsibilities at home, which can be overwhelming. Our service offers them a safe space to unwind, connect with others, and enjoy their childhood.
