Carer Support Wiltshire will be running activities during October, including over half term, especially for young carers. These activities will give young people who help to care for someone an opportunity to take some time out alongside other young carers.
The activities include axe throwing and archery, team building challenges and cookery workshops. All are free to attend for young people registered with Carer Support Wiltshire.
If there is a young person in your household who is helping to care for or support somebody and not currently registered as a young carer, call Carer Support Wiltshire on 0800 181 4118 or email email hidden; JavaScript is required to register.
