Sue Ward, a support worker from Community First explained: “So far it has helped us to provide some extra sparkle at a Christmas workshop at Applemore Scout hut, panto tickets at Forest Forge, a group activity session in Calshot, transport for three Marchwood and Totton young carers to go to an activity day at the Avon Tyrell centre, and transport for two Totton young carers to go to an activity day at Beaulieu. We are so grateful to Hythe & Waterside Rotary and the support they continue to give us. It makes a real difference to the number of children we can help” New Forest Young Carers currently supports over 230 young carers between the ages of seven and 18 through one-to-one work, school support, trips and activities and signposting.
