Master of Preston Guild Lodge visits young carers with £400 leisure donation

are a remarkable group of young people, often under the radar of society, who provide care and support for their parents and/or siblings when long-term illness or disability impacts a family.

Aged from just 5 years old to 18 years, they help in the home, go to the shops and provide selfless care for their family. Support for the Young Carers is delivered locally by Barnardo’s. They have some 200 children on their books at any one time and receive 60 new referrals every quarter. This, however, is just the tip of the iceberg. Many young carers go unrecognised and as a consequence, they miss out on the invaluable support offered by Barnardo’s.Unfortunately, there is no budget available for leisure activities.

Cliff came away humbled by what he had learned. The lodge hopes the Young Carers enjoy events created as a result of their and others’ donations. This is a very worthwhile cause to support. Most of all the lodge hopes they can have some fun.
