Every school should have a #YoungCarersChampion to support young carers to have equal access to education and all the opportunities it can bring. Please sign the petition to enable this to become a reality. @CarersTrust

Our Policy Manager, Andy McGowan, met with the Children's Commissioner at an event organised by our network partner, @CaringTogether , last week. In this video they discuss the importance of the Government ensuring that every young carer has a young carers champion in their school.

This is why we are backing @VikkiSlade72 MP's petition to make sure this happens, as it can make a huge difference in helping young carers to balance learning and caring.

We were delighted to support with the #Summer #School organised by our colleagues in @AspiretoHE. A fantastic collaboration between academic and professional services staff across @wlv_uni to engage and inspire local Year 10 students.

Some of our #English #Cafe learners @wlv_uni at our end of year celebration. What a joy they are to work with! So generous, friendly and appreciative of the warm welcome they receive at their #English classes. Most are progressing onto further study, volunteering or employment.
