Larcomes have nominated the Portsmouth Young Carers Centre as their charitable cause for 2015. The funds raised will enable them to arrange more activities and days out for the young carers, all of which are extremely valuable life experiences for these young people and provide respite from their caring role.
Why the community needs usYoung carers often lack support and information to help them cope. They can become isolated with no relief from the pressures at home and no chance to enjoy a normal childhood. By supporting activities for these young carers who have so many adult responsibilities, they will not miss out on opportunities that other children have to play and learn.
