Young Carers
Who are our Young Carers?
How do we support them?
At Pilgrims' Way Helen our Family Liaison Officer runs a drop in twice a week from her room.
Monday lunchtime for years 5 and 6 - Wednesday lunchtime for years 2, 3 and 4. But the door is always open to any child who needs to pop in or feels they are a Young Carer and wants to chat about it.
Children are welcome to pop in briefly or stay for the whole session.
Children have access to a variety of toys and games and refreshments. They can play alone or with the other carers and Helen
Tina from Canterbury Young Carers drops in a couple of times a term to see the children.
