Young Carers Action Day 2024
Young Carers Action Day (YCAD) took place on 13 March.
This annual event organised by Carers Trust is a day of
recognition and action for young carers and young adult
carers across the UK.
To celebrate, York Carers Centre
ran a youth club for primary
school young carers with a variety
of activities including arts and
crafts, board/card games, sports,
baking and a gaming corner.
The Pilot Theatre joined the youth
club for secondary school young
carers and hosted a graffiti art
workshop incorporating the YCAD
theme 'fair futures for young
carers'.
They also ran a 'Human Library'
Employability session with Next
Door but One at SPARK for our
Young Adult Carers (YACs) and
heard inspirational stories and
experiences from a diverse group
of professionals, particularly those
who are or have been a carer.
